Celebrate With Books Program
_
Birthdays are very special events that children enjoy
celebrating with their classmates. To help celebrate birthdays and other
special occasions, and at the same time benefit our entire school, we would
like to let you know about Murdock’s “Celebrate with Books” program.
As a healthy and long-lasting remembrance of your child’s special day, please consider donating a hardcover book to the Murdock library in your child’s name. A sticker plaque will be placed on the inside cover with your child’s name, special occasion, and date. The book will then be wrapped and presented to your child by the teacher. Your child will have the first opportunity to check the book out of the school library if s/he wishes. It will then be available for general circulation.
There are two ways to participate:
1. The first, and easiest, is to select one of the books from the “Celebrate with Books” shelf in the school library for a $20 donation. These books have already been catalogued and are ready to be checked out immediately.
2. The second way to participate is to purchase a hardcover book at a retail store of your choice and bring it to the Murdock library. Our librarian is available to help you select a title or let you know which books are most frequently requested at the school library. It takes approximately one week for the book to be processed and catalogued.
Please remember that we are only able to catalogue hardcover books in our library. If you would like to donate wrapping paper and a ribbon or bow for your child’s book, that would be wonderful!
With your help, this program will continue to be a favorite Murdock tradition. If you have any questions, please contact either of us. We look forward to growing the Murdock library as we celebrate the many birthdays and special occasions throughout your child’s time at Murdock!
Thank you!
