Adopt a Book

July 13th, 2006 by The Bosphorus

This is a good idea.

The Oak Ridge Library has put together a program where children may adopt a book in honor of their birthday. The Oak Ridge Observer brought this to my attention in its July 6th issue. The idea is that your child adopts a book from a list of new titles that the library needs. Then your child pays the cost of the book recieves a special birthday card from the library and is the first to check the book out.
What a great way to involve kids in the children’s room at the library.

    Anything that encourages kids to read is good.

    Yeah, daco, it’s amazing what 12 year olds can do these days.
    It’d be a damn shame if anyone actually used the forums.
