Birthday Book Program
New Book Program Celebrates Student Birthdays, Accomplishments
Fall 2009
During its first year, our school library experienced tremendous growth. The book collection went from zero items to a whopping 5,000 books by year's end. A strong foundation was established, due in large part, school librarian Jackie Fulton notes, to "countless volunteer hours and generous book donations from our families."
This year, families can help the library collect books that support the school's environmental curriculum by participating in a new Student Recognition/Birthday Book Program. "Families who want to honor their child's birthday or congratulate them on their hard work can do so at any time during the school year," Mrs. Fulton explains.
Families who wish to participate in this program may donate $10 toward the cost of a new library book. In exchange:
A permanent book plate will be placed in the book with your child's name and, if applicable, birthday.
Your child will be the first to borrow the selected book. It will be delivered to the classroom on the child's birthday (or other specified day).
Your child will be able to borrow the book for one week, in addition to his/her regularly selected library book.
All of the library books purchased this school year--including books by acclaimed non-fiction author Bobbie Kalman, titles by popular fiction writers Mo Willems and Lois Ehlert, and works about Pittsburgh sports teams--are available for the Book Program.
