Mt. Greylock Regional School District

Is there a birthday coming up?

Why not celebrate and commemorate a birthday by placing a book in the library? Every month, cards are going out to families to invite them to remember the date. We put the book put on display with a bookplate stating the name and birth date. Do you like sports, dance, other cultures? Share your interests with others and put a book on the shelf at the same time. This is a great way to honor someone important to you in a special way and make the library even more interesting and part of your life.

For details on how to donate a book, contact Kathy Share or Sarah Henry by email or at 458-9582 ext. 106.
