Young’s Birthday Book Club!

Young’s Birthday Book Club!

Are you looking for a fun way to honor your child’s birthday? Young’s LMC has the answer! Donating a book to Young’s LMC helps to build our library collection and make your child feel special at the same time.

During the month of your child’s birthday, we will call all children participating in the Birthday Book Club for the month down to the LMC to choose a book from the birthday cart. The Birthday Book Club will run from September to May. If your child’s birthday is in June, July or August, we will invite him or her to come down to the LMC during the month of December.

There will be a wide selection of hardcover books to choose from. After your child chooses a book, we take his/her picture to put in the front of the book with a bookplate commemorating the donation. Your child's first name will be listed on our LMC website to showcase the title they chose. Your child will be the first to check out the book he/she chooses! What a fun opportunity!

If you are interested in participating, please pay via Pushcoin at the following link.

Thank you for considering this program. It’s a great way for your child to feel special and to support the Young LMC at the same time. Please contact me if you have any questions.

LMC Director, 375-3805
