What is Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a program designed to help encourage reading and to give recognition to those who like to read. Team members will choose to read from a selected list of books as they participate in a battle where they compete with other teams by answering questions based on the books which are going to be different from online as we are doing a Kahoot. If you are in the three top-scoring teams and the three teams with the best costumes you will be given a prize.- FCl Staff.
In 1990 the Teen Department of the Farmington Community Library and sponsored by the Farmington Friends of the Library began The Battle of the Books and has been held ever since as this was the 32nd annual Battle of the Books. The Team members on your team will have an age range, approximately eleven to fourteen years of age (6th-8th grade). As, Students who live or attend school (public, private, or home) in Farmington or Farmington Hills are eligible to participate in the Battle of the Books. Therefore, the books with have a variety of reading and maturity levels will be chosen, representing the different genres and authors. Books are chosen based upon the materials selection policy. If you are comping you will need to create a team of your friends or classmates to read from a selected list of books and then participate in a battle where they compete with other teams by answering questions based on the books. Furthermore, each team must have a team name and an adult team manager. It is recommended that teams consist of three to six members, but teams of one or two are permitted. A student may only be on one team. Members of teams need not be all from the same school.
