Happy Birthday to you!
PTA and the Crescent Heights Library have teamed up to organize a program called Books For Birthdays. Your child has the opportunity to donate a library book in honor of their special day (it doesn’t have to be a birthday, it can be for anything!).
A stamp with the donor’s name will go inside the front cover of the book for all future readers to see. A PTA member will also come to your child's classroom to showcase your donated book, read to the class and take your student's photo for our hallway bulletin board outside of the library. Your child will receive a special bookmark as a thank you for their donation.
You may choose from a list of pre-selected books loaded onto our Books for Birthdays Wish List on Amazon. You may choose a book from either list (click the images below to view lists).
Please note:
- You may only choose from books preloaded on these wish lists. Please do not order or send any other books. Book suggestions are welcome by contacting the email listed below.
- If there is an option for hardcover vs. softcover book, please select HARD cover. We understand this is not an option in all cases. Some titles will give you the choice to "See all buying options". You must then select NEW and clarify the cover type that you are purchasing. If available, please select the hardcover version. Unfortunately we are not able to accept used or paperback versions.
- CHE’s address will automatically show up as a shipping option. Please have your book delivered directly to the school. To minimize risk of delays enter your child's name onto the gift message.
- All books on our wish list ship free with Amazon Prime; however, please note that at times circumstances of shipping method/charges may change.
After you have placed your order, please fill out THIS FORM, or return a completed PAPER COPY FORM to your child's teacher. The linked paper copy form is also sent home with the child during their birthday month and extra physical copies are found on our Bulletin Board outside of the library.
If your family would like to participate and needs assistance to do so, please send us an email. Over the years, this program has brought hundreds of new books to the library and instilled a sense of ownership and pride in the students who donated them. Thank you for supporting CHE!
If you have questions send an email to: booksforbirthdays@chepta.org.
