Adopt-a-Book Program

In the best children’s books words and pictures form a magical union. The words tell the story. The illustrations widen a child’s eyes, fuel the imagination and excite the spirit. Artists and authors engage, challenge, and teach our children through the printed page.

We have been fortunate at St. Joseph to share that vision and bring quality books to our children. The Scholastic Book Fair and the Barns and Noble Book Fairs provide funds to support the media center. We are thankful for continuous success at the book fairs each year.

As well as the book fairs, we have a program that has provided quality fiction and non-fiction books to our students. The program is called Adopt-a-Book. Students and parents can purchase quality books for our library. The child’s name or family name will be placed on a special bookplate in the front of each book donated. In addition, your child will be the first one to check out the book from the library. It is a special way of helping the library and honoring your child. It is fun when the students find the books that they or their brothers and sisters have donated years before.  I would like to thank all the families who have already adopted books.

The books available for adoption are on display in the library.  Come see me, and I will show you all the wonderful books we have to adopt.

God bless you,

Mrs. Sweat
