[LM_NET] Target: MS/HS Birthday Books

[Tere Hager <thager@BRENTWOODCHRISTIAN.ORG>]

Oh experienced ones - 

I am trying to "liven up" my birthday book program. Right now the parents
fill out a form at registration; I pick the book, and present it to the
student at chapel. As you can imagine, some students are quite mortified by
this, others don't really care, and still others revel in the attention. As
it is now, most birthday students never come check out their book. After
chapel my avid readers rush to  check out the new books.  I am trying to
think of a way to make it attractive to these older students. 

The elementary librarian is going to start taking pictures of the students
with their books and posting them on a bulletin board, but again I am not
sure this will be considered a neat thing by secondary students. 

I am planning on allowing the student to choose their own book from my
"stash" next year. 

Anyone else have a creative program going on now with secondary students? I
will post a hit.TIA
