Birthday Books!

Looking for a fun way to celebrate your child's birthday and support the Collicot library? During your child’s birthday month (or half birthday), they can pick a book from our list of birthday books. A commemorative book plate with your child’s name and birthday will be added to the book and it will be donated to the school library. Your child will also receive a certificate thanking them for their donation. For years to come every student who reads that book will know it was a Birthday Book from your child!   

Click HERE for all the information and donation form. The cost is $10.

Don't want to forget? Why wait? Sign up now and the book will be delivered during your child's birthday month!
