Birthday Book Club
Austin Elementary School Library has a Birthday Book Club! The purpose of the club is to honor your child’s birthday by donating a book to the Austin Elementary Library that will become part of the library’s collection.
Birthday Book Club members are invited to a party that will be held in the Library. Parties will be held twice a semester. (October, December, March & May, 2025-2026) Your child’s birthday does not have to fall in the same month as the celebration. All summer birthdays will be celebrated as well. At the party, your child will select their birthday book from a special collection of brand new books. A dedication sticker with the child’s name, birthday, & the name(s) of the person(s) dedicating the book will be permanently placed inside the book.
Students will be presented with their Birthday Book and they will have their pictures taken for our Birthday Book Club Hall of Fame Wall. Your child will be the first to check out the book from the library and may enjoy it for up to two weeks before returning it to the library so that other children may then check it out. This is such a unique and personal way to say “Happy Birthday,” and at the same time add wonderful new books to our library.
The Birthday Book Club membership is a $20.00 donation. This price includes the cost of a library bound book for our library. (Library bound books are stronger and more durable than other books.) If you would like your child to join the Birthday Book Club, please complete the form below and send it in with the $20.00 donation. We accept cash or checks made payable to Austin Elementary. Please remember CISD requires a driver’s license number and date of birth on all checks. You may also pay online using the following link (A $1 service fee will be added to the transaction.): https://conroeisd.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/69666/195/False/True
A Birthday Book Club invitation will be sent to the student’s homeroom prior to the party as a reminder. Feel free to call or email me with any questions. (936) 709-8409 or ekuykendall@conroeisd.net. I look forward to honoring your child’s birthday!
Thank You,
Eddie Kuykendall

All proceeds from the Book Fair will be used to purchase new Library books, book an Author visit and bring back Main St. Theater in the Spring. My ultimate goal is to spread the love of reading among our students, staff and parents. Thank you, in advance, for supporting the Scholastic Book Fair!
