Battle of the Books Team Practices
Wednesdays, (7/8) from 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM & Every Monday & Wednesday (7/27 – 8/19) from 4:30 – 6:00 PM
There’s still time to join our Battle of the Books Team to compete against teams from a dozen other public libraries in a book trivia competition! Email fmlteen@rcls.org, read the 8 books, and attend practices to learn the rules, and get comfortable with the buzzer system. The Battle will be at SUNY Orange, on Sunday, Aug. 23rd @ 12 PM.
This is a great resume and/or college application booster. No extracurriculars or sports? This has all you need- Teamwork! Friendly Competition! Commitment! Good Sportsmanship! Need a reference? Committed team members may earn a reference from our Coaches. Additionally, receive free copies of the 8 competition books and a team shirt (all yours to keep!) All participants get free books and goodies at the event! Winners get cash prizes and a banner to hang in the Library for the next year. Read titles/ authors that you might not check out otherwise!
This year’s titles: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon, The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin, All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson, Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang, House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland, The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, and The Great Cool Ranch Dorito in the Sky by Josh Galarza
