Birthday Books Honoring Children’s Birthdays with a Book to the Library Through the support of Michael J. Franco (1911-2004) and his wife, Katherine (1908-2002), the Birthday Book program was developed and has continued to grow, providing new books for the library every year. As a special way to remember a child’s birthday or other celebratory occasion, parents, grandparents and friends may donate the cost of a new book that will include a commemorative plate bearing the student’s name placed inside the book. The book is then presented and read to the child’s library class and reserved in the library for many years to come. For more information, please call the library at 305-779-7296 or email at lsmediacenter@miamicountryday.org.
