Info: This summer, families are invited to celebrate Jewish immigrant history and culture with The Great Lower East Side Scavenger Hunt, a free, interactive adventure presented by PJ Library.


From Memorial through Labor Day, participants can take a self-led journey through the historic Lower East Side to explore iconic neighborhood spots, uncover stories of Jewish heritage and its lasting influence on NYC, and search for PJ Library books hidden in the windows or interiors of nine unique locations on the LES.
