How can the parents and students participate in Birthday Book Club?

St. Raphael Birthday Book Club is a program established to 
recognize your child(ren)on their birthday with a new book 
individually dedicated on his/her birthday. With your $15.00 
donation, an age-appropriate title will be chosen for your 
child. If your child has a favorite title you would like 
to donate, feel free to send this book to the library. 

A form is sent to the family the month of the students birthday. 
Fill out the form and return to the library.

If you have questions, please call 919-865-5755.
