Oregon Battle of the Books: Practice! Registration open now
Oregon Battle of the Books is a statewide reading program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries. OBOB celebrates a love of reading and supports good sportsmanship while motivating young people to broaden their reading experience and increase their reading comprehension. Reader teams in third through twelfth grades compete in local and regional battles before moving on to the state tournament in March.
Practice sessions for book warriors in the first division (grades 3-5) will be held at the Cedar Mill Library on January 2 and 3. Registration required. Visit the library or call (503) 644-0043 ext.112 or email Marta at martaw@wccls.org. Individuals on the same team should coordinate their registrations before contacting us. More information and OBOB booklists for all grades can be found at both libraries and on the website at library.cedarmill.org/kids-teens/school-age-kids/oregon-battle-of-the-books.html
