The Glendale Library Learning Center is home to thousands of resources to help you learn – whether you are researching to follow your own interests, digging up information for an assignment or if you are simply looking for a great book to read. The Library Learning Center also has a suite of computers for class and student use. The library is open for independent student visits during lunch on both A and B days.

“Battle of the Books” Book Club

Battle of the Books 2019-2020

Salt Lake City School District is holding their second annual Battle of the Books for middle grade students! In preparation for the event, Glendale will be holding weekly Book Club meetings. Our first lunch Book Club will be announced soon and so will the book list! Books can be found at the public library, or checked out online via OverDrive. 

The Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read, respond to and engage with good books.  A "Battle" is like a College Bowl or Geography Bee.

Teams of four students (and one alternative) will answer questions based on the school year's books. The school team with the most correct answers wins the Battle for the school year.

The school district has purchased electronic copies of the book list which is available via the Overdrive app. Salt Lake City Public Library has multiple copies of the books.

Glendale students in grades 6-8 are invited to participate in the 2019-2020 Battle of the Books. **SOON** A list of books that will be included in this year’s Battle of the Books competition will be posted below.

You do not need to participate in the battle to read the books. They are great recommendations for reading. If you want to participate in the competition, you will want to get a head start on reading the books.  More details to come!
