The program will be piloted in 10 tar- get communities. The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit is bringing PJ Our Way to Detroit. "The PJ Library program has touched thousands of lives in Metro Detroit — from our youngest children (6 months) to our biggest kids (up to age 9), and including their parents:' said Lisa Soble Siegmann of Federation's Alliance for Jewish Education. "PJ Our Way is a con- tinuation of an amazing program, now for older kids. "We are delighted to have been asked to be one of several pilot communities, testing out this new chapter of PJ," she said. "For kids ages 9-11, they simply sign up at www.pjourway.org. Then, once they are part of the program, they will be able to go online and choose one of four books every month. They also will be able to interact with the site and even be part of a book club that will be at Adat Shalom Synagogue:' JN I
