Birthday Book Club

    

Prior to your child's birthday, your child will receive a note from the library informing you about our Birthday Book Club at Cooper Elementary!  For a donation of $10.00, your child's membership includes the following:

*selecting a new book from the "Birthday Book" shelves
*a book plate with your child's name, placed inside the book
*your child's picture will be taken and placed on the bulletin board  outside the library

The Birthday Book Club allows students to enjoy a special privilege on or near their  birthday as well as helping build our library.  Watch for your child's notice in the weekly "Eagle" folders.  Summer birthdays are recognized during the year as "half" birthdays.
