Donate a Book for your Birthday
As you may know, bringing treats to school to share with your child’s class on their birthday is no longer permitted. You may wish to participate in the Birthday Book Donation Program as a way to celebrate your child’s birthday at school. Create a lasting memory for your child by celebrating their birthday and adding new books to our library collection!
If your son or daughter is having a birthday, you can donate a book by following the easy steps below:
Purchase a hardcover book or bring a gently used hardcover book and bring it to Mrs. Forbes in the library.
A Birthday Book Donation sticker will be placed inside the book with your child’s name and birthdate. The book will be processed and made shelf-ready.
On your next library visit, Mrs. Forbes will “present” the book and either read it to the class, or do a book talk. And of course, we will sing “Happy Birthday" to your child.
Your child’s name will go on the Birthday Bulletin Board on a cake or cupcake for that month.
Your child’s name will be put on our website to celebrate their birthday and to thank them for their generous donation.
This is a fun way to celebrate your child's birthday and donate to our library, and your child will take pride in contributing something to their school. So donate today!
