Celebrate Reading with the St M Birthday
Book Club
Welcome to the St M Birthday Book Club! This treasured St. Michael’s tradition enables students to learn the joy of giving as well as receiving and encourages a lifelong appreciation of books and reading. Here’s how it works:
On or near their birthday, Birthday Book Club members will choose a book from an age-appropriate selection curated by their librarian. This book will live forever in the St. Michael's library collection for the enjoyment of our whole STM community. Their gift will be recognized by a bookplate in the front of the book, featuring their name, birthday, and the year the gift was given. Book Club members will be the first to check out their birthday book, and will also be recognized during their library class and in a special Birthday Book display in the library.
The Birthday Book Club membership fee is $15. Thank you for supporting this celebration of reading, generosity, and community!
