ANDERSON LIBRARY READING PROGRAMS

Every year a new list of twenty books, which includes several genres of literature, are placed on the Texas
Bluebonnet Club list. Students who read at least five of the Texas Bluebonnet Club books by January 16th,
become members of the Texas Bluebonnet Reading Club. They vote on their favorite books on January 16th,
and their votes are submitted to Austin to be included in the state count. At Anderson, students can read these
independently or with a family member or classroom teacher. The Bluebonnet Reading Boot can be found by

BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB
Who: Kindergarten - Fifth Grade Dates: September 2008 – May 2009
The Birthday Book Club is a way to honor your child with a book in the Anderson library. By joining,
your child can choose a brand new popular book or even select a favorite book from the shelves of
the library to be donated in their name. Your birthday student will have a birthday name plate
placed in their special book. If they choose a newly purchased book, they will be the first one to take
the book home to read. Each time someone checks out their special book, they will be recognized with
the name plate placed in the book. Students can join the Birthday Book Club anytime during the school year.
