This year in
library the students can choose to celebrate children's authors'
birthdays. Each month, the names of the authors whose
birthdays fall in that month will be posted on the library bulletin
board and on a flyer in the library. If students read three
books by any of the month's authors, they will be invited to a
birthday party at the end of the month. There will be a form
available in the library that students can take home to record their
reading.
