Gift Book Program

Boy readingThe library and the PTO coordinate a Gift Book Program as a means of expanding the library collection while commemorating special times and special persons: birthdays, holidays, grandparents, teachers, interns and sometimes even pets. An appropriate bookplate is placed in each book. Library Gifts are listed in the FALKTalk unless otherwise indicated.  All Falk students, teachers, interns, and staff benefit from the continuous updating of the collection.   

Letters are mailed to families inviting them to participate in the Gift Book Program.  Gift donation may be made at any time throughout the school year.  Some families make one book donation in honor of the family rather than individual books for each child.

The informational letter and Gift Form are available below.  Use the note area on form to provide details or instructions.  All dollar amounts are suggested donations.  Contact Ms. Williams  at 412-624-8516 or lwilliam@pitt.edu with questions.
