celebrateThe Blythe Park PTA extends an invitation to all Blythe Park families to remember someone special in your life and help build our library collection at the same time. How does the program work? You select and purchase a book from the library wish list and create your personalized dedication. Blythe Park PTA will print your dedication in your book and the book will be donated to our school library.

Once purchased, the books should be ready for check out within a few weeks of receipt.  There will be a note sent to the person or persons you dedicate the book to (if not part of Blythe Park Community, please include address to send notice to). You may now purchase books at any time even in the summer and keep Blythe Park’s Library filled with new and exciting books for our kids to read!

Please use the instructions below to access the on-line wish list.

If you want to donate a specific book that is not on the list, please check with Blythe Park Librarian, Patty Prodanich, to make sure the book is not currently in the Library’s collection and/or that we don’t have multiple copies as space is limited.

Please fill out the attached order form for each donation.  Please return your dedication form with the book or books you purchased to the cabinet in the office or give them to Julie Laube.  You may purchase the book on your own but please fill out the form below and deliver the book(s) and form(s) together.
