    Birthday Books
     
    For the past several years, our Library has participated in a program we call Birthday Books. Letters are sent home to parents during or close to the month your child celebrates his or her birthday. We ask that you purchase a book for the Library and a bookplate will be placed in front of the book, honoring your child. This has been a very successful way to benefit a necessary part of our school, OUR LIBRARY!
    Prices for the books range from $15 to $20. You decide the amount you would like to spend and then your child picks out the book to be ordered. Your child will be the first to check out this book and bring it home to read.
