Jewish Pages for the Ages: Judy Blume

Engage Across Generations. Strengthen Family Bonds. Enjoy Tailored Learning.

The Jewish Library of Baltimore is excited to present our Jewish Pages for the Ages intergenerational book club. This unique program delves into the captivating world of Jewish history and values, learning from the incredible lives of Jewish luminaries.

Join in along with your children and/or grandchildren (grades 3 and up) to read and discuss books on the remarkable life of Judy Blume, an author and mother of two searching for purpose outside of her home in 1960s suburban New Jersey. The books she wrote starred regular children with genuine thoughts and problems. Blume wasn’t trying to be a revolutionary – she just wanted to tell honest stories – but in doing so, she created a cohesive, culture-altering vision of modern adolescence.
