The Clermont Library is excited to continue our “Birthday Book” program! Our library collection has so many beautiful books purchased and dedicated by students and parents. Your generosity has benefited our students, staff, and library collection. This is an excellent way for you and the Clermont Library to celebrate your child’s birthday all year long.
This year, we have purchased a collection of books based on curriculum content, student requests, and professional recommendations, as well as favorite titles and new titles by award winning authors. Children choosing to participate in the “Birthday Book” program will select a book from this collection, and a special bookplate with the child’s name and birthday will be placed inside the cover. The book is processed for library circulation and is checked out to the child for a month, after which it is displayed in our special "Birthday Books" section. There is a flat $18.00 donation for each book. Children with summer birthdays are invited to come in during their “half birthday” month. Books can also be presented for special occasions.
If you would like to honor your child in this distinctive way, please complete the “Birthday Book” google form and provide payment via MySchoolBucks.com by finding Birthday Book within the featured items of the school store category.
Birthday Book orders and payment are due no later than October 15, 2010.
