The book will include a bookplate featuring the student's name, picture, and current school year inside the front cover. By participating in the Birthday Book Club program, you are helping our library grow and honoring your child at the same time!
To join the Birthday Book Club, please pay $20 on School Pay and complete this form.

Student members of the Birthday Book Club will have the following opportunities
