Battle of the Books 2024 - 2025
Battle of the Books runs from September to January in our school. Students have the opportunity to read and study one set of 16 books out of a set of 64 books selected by a committee of librarians, teachers, and library administrators. Once students have read their set of books they take a quiz to see if they qualify for the district competition. The district competition takes place in January and is live on WPS TV!

Welcome to our media center! I have been teaching at Gardiner since 2014. Pre-K through 5th grade come to our media center at least once a week to explore the world of books, media, and digital citizenship.
Guide to Book Care
- Keep your books in a safe place.
- Return your books on time.
- Do not eat or drink while reading library books.
- Wash and dry your hands before reading library books.
- Keep books away from pets and little ones. They do not know how to take care of books!
- Never draw or write in a library book!
- Always use a bookmark!
- If the library book has been damaged, bring it to your librarian. They will repair it if they can. DO NOT REPAIR THE BOOK YOURSELF! Your librarian has the right tools and training to fix books.
- If you lose your book or it is damaged while in your care, you will need to pay to replace it. Talk to your librarian.
