Central School librarians purchase a wide variety of brand new, age-appropriate books that your child gets to choose from during the month of his/her birthday or half-birthday if celebrates in the summer.
The kids take pride in seeing their nameplate being placed in a book that will remain at the Learning Commons for years to come. This program provide him/her with a first-hand experience of “giving back” to the school.
How does it work? At a birthday book celebration, your child 1. chooses a brand-new book (from the Birthday Books cart) to donate to the Central School Learning Commons 2. Places a personalized nameplate in the book.
They are then the first person to check out the new book as well as receiving a small gift (pencil, bookmark or party favor item). They then have his/her picture taken with his/her book to be displayed in the Learning Commons for all kids, staff and visitors to view.
