Contests
Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a book-based trivia tournament for middle and high school students. The event happens every May. The goals of the program are to promote a love of reading, expose students to titles and authors that they might not encounter otherwise, encourage them to think of their local public library as a resource for entertainment, and to inspire teamwork and good sportsmanship in an atmosphere of friendly competition.
