Celebration Book Club

The Celebration Book Club allows families and friends to donate a book to the BWE Library in celebration of a special child in their life.  Books may be donated to recognize any memorable event such as a birthday, holiday, award, or achievement, or in memory of a loved one.  Books may also be donated in celebration of a teacher or staff member.  

To select a Celebration Book for your child, please go to: Celebration Book Club

This link will direct you to an Amazon Wish List which created by our librarian, Mrs. Flaherty, based on the needs of the library.  If you have a specific book that you would prefer to donate, please check with Mrs. Flaherty – mflaherty@northallegheny.org.  Please note that the book must be elementary appropriate and hardcover. (No paperbacks please.)

Once you select a book, please put the following information in the comments section - your child's name, homeroom (teacher and section), date you would like the book delivered, and who is donating the book.  You may also download and complete the Celebration Book Club Form here and send to school - Attn. Library or email it to Mrs. Flaherty or Celebration Book Club Committee (see contact information below).

Please have the book delivered to the BWE Library at least one week prior to the date you would like to have it presented to your child.  It will then be delivered to their classroom with a colorful bow. A bookplate with their name will be placed on the inside cover, and they will be the first to checkout that book. After they return the book to the library, the book becomes part of the BWE permanent library collection. 

Your child's 'Celebration Balloon' will be in the library window during the month of his or her celebration.  Books donated to celebrate your child's teacher or a staff member will be delivered to their class or office. Please note that Summer birthdays (June- September) may be celebrated at the half-birthday dates. 

If you have any questions about the program, please contact Mrs. Flaherty (mflaherty@northallegheny.org or 724-935-5081) or Celebration Book Club Committee (bwebdaybooks@gmail.com).
