Celebration Books
Turner Creek families can mark special occasions such as a child’s birthday by donating a book to the Media Center in their child’s name. Donating a book is a very special way to honor your child while promoting a love of reading and supporting the Turner Creek Media Center. Your child will bring home a postcard prior to the month of their birthday. You can fill out this card and send it to school with a $15 donation (checks made payable to TURNER CREEK PTA) OR you can fill out this online FORM.
Your child will be invited to choose a book and that book will be added to the Media Center collection. A personalized bookplate will be placed inside the front cover to commemorate your child’s special occasion and be seen by future readers. Your child will then be the first to check out the book. We hope you will take part in this meaningful program!
Book Fair
Our Book Fair is scheduled in the late fall. We use Scholastic Book Fairs, which offers high quality children’s books at reasonable prices. This is the major fundraiser for the Media Center collection – 25% of all profits come back to the school and are used to buy books and materials to build our collection. The PTA helps us run the Fair and provides volunteers.
Media Helpers
Media Helpers is a student job open to fifth and fourth grade students. Media Helpers work during our busy morning checkout time, assisting students with finding books and helping man the Circulation Desk. It is a fun job and a great way to improve understanding and use of a library.
Volunteer Opportunities
We have MANY volunteer opportunities in the Media Center – from shelving books and assisting students, to processing new books and repairing damaged ones. We also depend on many volunteers to run our Book Fair in the fall. Whether you have a little or a lot of time to share, please contact us if you are interested in volunteering. Thanks.
