  • We accept hard cover books, board books, paperback books, book sets, and books on tape.

    Birthday Book Club

  • Parents send $12.00 to school. (Make checks payable to GPS.)

  • The student or parent selects a book to be donated from a designated collection of books in the Library Media Center's office.

  • The child's name and birth date are placed on a bookplate in the front of the donated book.

  • The book is presented to the child on the Gilbert Primary television show.

  • The child is allowed to be the first to check out the donated book.

  • Once the book is returned, it becomes a part of the regular collection for everyone to enjoy.

  • The child's name and picture are placed on a balloon and displayed with the Library Media Center's Birthday Book Clowns.

  • In May, the Library Media Center hosts a party to celebrate all Birthday Book Club Members' birthdays with cake, ice cream and treats.  Last year we celebrated 115 birthdays!
