An Invitation to Join Other Curious Minds and Fascinating Jewish Authors

PJ Library has spent more than two decades connecting Jewish families with children's books that celebrate Jewish life, values, and culture. But great Jewish books aren’t just for kids, of course. There's a world of phenomenal Jewish fiction, memoirs, essays, and many other works written for adults. Too often, Jewish authors are experiencing the real effects of antisemitism in the publishing landscape. So we’re eager to invite you to join us in lifting up these authors’ work, in a way that also gives you rare access to their minds and methods.

Join PJ Library's Pens & Pages: curated readings, live conversations with today's leading Jewish authors, and intimate local gatherings in New York and Los Angeles. You'll discover unique Jewish voices, meet fellow readers, and see firsthand how PJ Library brings Jewish stories into families' homes. You can then explore even deeper in person at small local gatherings, turning a great book into a shared experience. Whether you're a lifelong literary devotee or you’re drawn to the idea of making meaningful connections with other readers, Pens & Pages offers you a chance to hear unique Jewish voices firsthand plus a community to enjoy them with.
