The library is offering a Birthday Book ClubIf you choose, you can purchase your book from Amazon and then send it (discreetly) to the library “birthday book” collection. The books can be purchased from anywhere but we have made wishlists available on amazon, for your convenience.
On your child’s birthday, we will send him/her a birthday card to come get their book from the library and be the FIRST person to check it out! We will also have a nameplate in the book, honoring the birthday child for years to come. Call the library at 648-2819 with any questions. If you have a summer birthday child, we can surprise them with an early book in June. Below are carousels for different grades marked accordingly.
