BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB

​Help celebrate your child’s birthday with a unique gift to The Dows Lane Library!
 
When your child joins the Dows Lane Birthday Book Club, a book is donated to the school library with a special commemorative bookplate in your child’s honor. It’s a fantastic way to help grow our library collection and get your child excited about reading!
 
To join the Birthday Book Club fill out the Birthday Book Club Form.  Around the time of your child’s birthday, we will invite him or her to come to the library to select a new book for the Birthday Book Club. Parents of children with summer birthdays may select a date during the school year, such as a “half-birthday,” to honor their child. Your child will have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of books.
 
After your child selects a birthday book, we will place a permanent bookplate in it to acknowledge your gift. Participants will have the honor of being the first to check out their special book.
