Brooklyn Park author visits local schools, gifts books

Jerry Gale, a Brooklyn Park author and grandfather of three students in the district, has been spending time at local elementary schools in his home city this month to share his new book, Swimming in Grandpa’s Pool.

At Birch Grove School for the Arts on Nov. 15, Gale read his book to all of the school’s first grade scholars and then sent each one of them home with a copy of the book. Gale plans to do the same for all first graders at the district’s Brooklyn Park-area elementary schools.
