Birthday Book Club FAQs

What is the Birthday Book Club?

The Birthday Book Club is a fundraiser for the library. The funds raised go toward the purchase of new books for the library.

 

How can my child participate

With a $5 donation to the library, a Birthday Book Club book plate is printed with your child's name and date of birth on it. Then your child chooses "his/her" Birthday Book from a collection of books new to the library. After selecting a book, your child's book plate is placed inside the book, and your child is the first to check-out the chosen book from the library.

 

What is the deadline for participating in the Birthday Book Club?

Most Birthday Book Club donations are made at the beginning of the school year, but donations are accepted anytime during the school year.

 

What if I donated to the birthday book program, but my child did not receive a Birthday Book?

Contact Ms. Campbell, Librarian at email: julia.campbell@southlakecarroll.edu

 

What if there is a mistake on the book plate for the Birthday Book?

When does my child select his Birthday Book?

Your child selects his Birthday Book during the Library Encore period. The book plates are usually printed by October. At that time, students with May - October birthdays select their birthday book. Students with November - April birthdays, select their Birthday Book during the month of their birthday.

 

How will I know the title of the Birthday Book my child selected?

After selecting a book, your child will check-out the book, and take it home to read and show the family.

 

Does my child keep the Birthday Book?

No. The Birthday Book is a gift to the library. Your child returns the Birthday Book within the two-week loan period like other library books.
