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.
