Grandparent Schmooze
"Watching your kids have kids, is just incredible."
More so than ever, grandparents are a major part of their grandchildren's lives. They stay connected through frequent playdates, holiday get-togethers, and FaceTime. They are often involved in their day-to-day, their faith identity, and their life experiences. Enjoy this video all about the joys and challenges of grandparenthood.

Meet Amy
I live in Belmont with my husband and 2 kids, 8 year old Zoey and my 13 year old son Calvin. We enjoy many activities together, skiing in the winter and traveling to Maine in the summer. The JCC had been a part of my life growing up in Connecticut where I learned to play tennis, and when I heard about the JCC's work in Arlington, I was thrilled to become a Family Connector there leading playgroups and events. My work has now led me to connect families through PJ Library sharing the love of books and JCC events, and also as a Welcome Baby visitor. I enjoy meeting so many new families and connecting them to our huge variety of offerings. I look forward to connecting with your family soon. Contact Amy
Meet Regina
I am the PJ Library Family Connector for Russian-speaking families. It has been wonderful to organize events in the Greater Boston Area for the last two years that not only my own family enjoys attending, but also that have brought many fun-filled weekends to other families. I love meeting new people, connecting local Russian-speaking families to each other, and getting to know my community through PJ Library. Who knew that children's books could bring so many new opportunities?! Contact Regina
