NBS Book Dedication Program

Do you have a special child that you'd like to recognize?  If so, we have an exciting new program designed just for reading and nature enthusiasts!

NBS uses a variety of children's story and nature books to teach public and school programs for students and families.  Our new book dedication program allows parents, grandparents, or friends to donate a book in a child's honor.  This is a great opportunity to mark birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions!

Donated books are marked with an embossed label and the child's name and date; recognition is also given on the NBS website.

To dedicate a book, simply choose from the list below (please note that the list may change as books are added or donated).  Bring in a new or good quality used book, along with your name, the child's name, and date in print.  We'll use the book to teach a variety of programs, from Bird Tales to school programs and camp!
