[LM_NET] Birthday book club for high school?

["Huang, Amy" <ahuang@NDSJ.ORG>]

As far as I know, most libraries doing "Birthday Book Club" are in elementary 
schools. Is there any secondary school library successfully doing it?

I am thinking to start a "Birthday Book Club" at our school. I will create a wish 
list on Amazon.com and promote it through letter, library website, PTA, etc.  
Students or parents can donate a book from my list in honor of their (or their 
child's) birthday. A special acknowledgement label will be placed on the inside 
front cover saying that the book was donated by XXX, class of XXXX.  I think it is 
a good way to bring books to our collection. 

Will it be harder for high school libraries than elementary? If you have done it, 
please share your experience. I really appreciate your advice. Thank you!
