Birthday Club
Celebrate your child's birthday with a gift all students can enjoy!You are invited to make a cash/check donation towards the purchase of a new book to commemorate your child's birthday. (Summer birthdays will be celebrated either half-year or a date of your choosing). A bookplate with your child's name and birth date will be placed in the front of the book, and they will be recognized during morning announcements and in our weekly newsletter from the office. The week before your child's birthday, they will come to the library and choose from a selection of great books we have pre-purchased. The book will be officially presented on the day they come to the library. After enjoying the book for a two-week period, they will return it to the library for others to checkout. We will also be taking a photograph of the Birthday Club member with their special book. These photos will be displayed in the library. -
