4th & 5th Battle of the Books 2024
Students in 4th and 5th grade who are searching for a fun, challenging, friendly competition of wits need look no further! The Battle of the Books is back!
Battle of the Books is a program designed to encourage reading and give recognition to those who like to read. Team members each read from a list of books selected by the Children’s Department of the Sewickley Public Library, and compete with other teams by answering trivia questions based on the books.
Those who are interested in participating in Battle of the Books should have an Allegheny County Library card and form a BOB team of 4 to 5 members, with an adult team manager.
