Battle of the Books
The Library does BOB a little different then the schools. At the kickoff, teams are formed. Whether you have friends and siblings you want to play with or you’re on your own, we’ll get all the teams together. The teams create their own Team Name and together design a poster to represent them in the competition. Teams work together to read the ten books before the first competition. Then we compete game show style. Every person will get something for participating but the winning team will win a bonus prize and move on to compete against 7 other libraries in the tri-county tournament.
