Happy Birthday! Everyone loves to celebrate their birthday in a special way. The funding of this project will allow for each of our children to choose a book of their choice to celebrate their birthday at our birthday book club celebration!
Our students are avid readers.
They appreciate quality literature and look forward to checking out new books in our library. The librarian tries her best to keep the collection in the library current by providing high-interest, award-winning books for her students. The children in the school are in grades kindergarten through six and the materials provided by this project span that age range.
My Project
These resources will allow each of our children to choose their own specific library-bound book to celebrate their birthday. We put a special name plate inside the book celebrating the child's birthday and their book selection. The books are taken home for the first time by the birthday child and then the books are returned to the school. All of the birthday books are kept in circulation in our library so that the whole student body can appreciate them. Each title has been hand-selected by the media specialist and is quality and award-winning literature.
After each child hand-selects their favorite birthday book club book, their name is inscribed on the bookplate in the book and the child is the first to check out the book and take it home.
Our children are very excited about sharing their birthday book club selection with their families. All of the books are returned to our library and circulated so all of the students can enjoy them. The birthday book club is a great way to keep our library current and inspire a love of reading in our kids!
