Birthday Book Club donates books to school library

The school library at Head O’ Meadow Elementary School (Newtown, Conn.) has a way of funding additions to the collection and get children involved in the library at the same time. Once a month, parents of children who have a birthday that month send $15 to the school, then the kids get to choose which books will be donated to the library in their names. Each donated book gets a “Donated by” label with the name, age, birth date, and photo of the kid who picked it. In the 2003-2004 school year, the Birthday Book Club donated 153 books to the library. So far this year, 160 books have been paid for. [Article]
