If you're looking for a new home for gently used PJ Library books that your children have outgrown, the best place to donate them is to a local Jewish organization. These books can be repurposed, giving them new life and allowing other children to enjoy them.
Ideal Donation Locations
When books are in good condition, they can be a wonderful resource for other families and communities. Consider donating your PJ Library books to the following types of local Jewish organizations:
- Synagogues: Many synagogues have libraries or educational programs that can benefit from children's books.
- Preschools: Jewish preschools are often in need of age-appropriate books for their classrooms and story times.
- Day Schools: Jewish day schools, from elementary to middle school, can utilize these books in their libraries or for classroom reading.
- Jewish Community Centers (JCCs): JCCs frequently offer children's programming, after-school activities, and sometimes even libraries where donated books would be welcome.
Before donating, it's always a good idea to contact the specific organization to confirm their current needs and donation policies. Ensuring the books are in good condition is key to making them a valuable donation.
