BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB o The Library Book Club is an opportunity to celebrate a child’s birthday and help build the collection of books in the Levine Academy libraries. A special bookplate bearing the child’s name is placed in a new library book and presented near their birthday. Order forms are available through the school librarian.
