Birthday Books
by Tara T.

Did you know you can donate a book to the library for your birthday? You can buy that book at any bookstore. To get your book purchase in the library, Ginny will need to put a barcode on it so it can be catalogued. It will be stamped with our library stamp, and  then a spine label will be added. Inside the book, Ginny will put a book plate, a sticker that says “This is a Birthday Book” and also has the person’s name on it. There have been about 10-15 donations so far this year.
