Birthday Books at Bon Air
The presentation of Birthday Books to the library is a special tradition at St. Michael’s. Each year students who wish to participate choose a favorite book from a selection of new books set aside in the library, from their favorite bookstore, or by special order through the librarian. A special bookplate in the front of each Birthday Book contains the name and birthday of the child presenting this book to the library collection. Books may also be given in honor or memory of someone. Please note that hardbound books are preferred when possible as they withstand heavier use.
A special assembly honoring Birthday Book donations will be held on the Bon Air Campus on the following dates:
- Thursday, October 27, 2011 (Please submit book(s) by October 3.)
- Thursday, March 22, 2012 (Please submit book(s) by February 20.)
- Thursday, May 10, 2012 (Please submit book(s) by April 16.)
The program takes place in Dundas-Hatcher Hall at the start of the school day. Families of students presenting books will receive invitations. All are welcome to attend. For more information, please contact Carol Wise, Bon Air Campus librarian, at cwise@stmschool.net.
