Donate a Book to the Byam School Library!!

Donate a Book to the Byam School Library!!

A program has been set up to donate new books to the Byam School library!  This is a great way to honor a favorite teacher or celebrate an event such as a student’s birthday.  At the end of the school year, a book can be donated to celebrate a student’s moving on to middle school.

A wish list has been created on the amazon.com website.  Books are available in a range of prices.  Use the following link to access the wish list:

 

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25PCO69H8X6QJ/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

 

In order to specify who you want the book dedicated to, just put the desired wording for the dedication in the “gift message” box, and a book plate will be placed in the book with that dedication when it is received.  The book will then be cataloged and added to the library’s collection.

 

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at barrettb@chelmsford.k12.ma.us.  Thank you for your support of the Byam School Library!
