Birthday Books : How the Birthday Book Program Works

Birthday Book Program

 

Celebrate your child's birthday or half-birthday

by donating a new book to our Library!

 

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

You will be sent a friendly reminder postcard during the month of your child's birthday, or in the case of a summer birthday, during the month of your child's half-birthday. If you choose to participate (and participation is optional), your child may donate a brand new book to our school library. A special name plate is placed inside the book and your child receives special recognition in the Wednesday Word.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A BOOK TO DONATE?

There are 4 different ways:

1. The easiest way is to go to our newAmazon.com Wish List and purchase a book and have it sent directly to the Library.
2. Select a favorite of your own choosing from a local bookstore and bring it in to the Library. Check Amazon.com Wish List for some ideas.
3. You and/or your child can come to the Library at school and browse through our Birthday Book Box. We always have some new books waiting for someone to choose them! If yourchild chooses the book without you, the librarian will send home a note stating the title and cost of the book. This saves a trip to the bookstore for those for whom time is at a premium!
4. Ask the librarian for a title that the library particularly needs to augment its collection and then purchase it at a bookstore or order it online.
