The Warrior Book Exchange was created to give students a place to trade their gently used books for new adventures in reading. Originally funded by a grant from the Glenpool Foundation for Academic Excellence, the book exchange is part of Glenpool Middle School's on-going mission to create a culture of literacy in our community. In conjunction with the book exchange program, Glenpool Middle School has begun an incentive program entitled, "I Got Caught Reading."

The exchange began by purchasing one new book for each incoming 6th grader. The students were given a catalog to choose their new books from so that each student would receive a book they really wanted.

Next, we introduced the exchange, which is located in the middle school lobby. Students who bring a book in gently-used condition may trade that book for a different title. The book now belongs to that student. Should the student want to return the book to trade for another title, they are welcome to do so.

Our goal is to continue and expand the book exchange program through the purchase of both new and used books. In order to expand our selection of books and continue motivating students to become life-long readers, The Warrior Book Exchange needs your help.
