Book Club

The Wayside Book Club is a great way to celebrate your child's birthday, thank a teacher or staff member, leave a wonderful legacy for your graduating child and support the Wayside Media Center. All donated books will receive a bookplate with the donor's information on it. Donors will be the first to check out the new book, and will choose a special bookmark to keep!
