For many of us growing up in the 50s and 60s, the library was the place we visited to check out books. In the 70s, libraries were called IMCs or Instructional Media Centers. In the 80s, computer technology was added. In each Library Media Center there is a special place that displays books waiting to be adopted. A person interested in adopting a book may choose a book from the display to be adopted.
Some people like to adopt books in honor of a child s birthday or any other special occasion.
It is also a special way to honor a loved one s memory. Students may pool their funds to adopt a book together, if they desire. Each building has a special display honoring those who have adopted library books. A book plate with the name of the adopter is placed inside the book s cover. Please visit your library media center to see our display.
