What is Battle of the Books? 

Battle of the Books is a trivia contest for 6th-9th graders with questions based on eight books that all Warriors read. Anyone currently in grades 6-9 who loves to read and wants a challenging (and fun) activity to do over the summer! Mid-Hudson Battle of the Books encourages a community of engaged middle and high-school-aged readers in our four-county region by introducing them to great books, authors, and their fellow readers in an atmosphere of friendly competition and good sportsmanship.

Battle of the Books is a national Summer Reading Program for middle and high-school students in the five-county region of the Mid-Hudson Library System. The program began in 2005 as a way to encourage middle school students to read during the summer. In 2016, the program was extended to reach high school students as well. The summer program culminates with two regional battles: one for high school (08/18/18) and one for middle school (09/08/18).

Who can participate?

Anyone currently in grades 6-9 who loves to read and wants a challenging (and fun) activity to do over the late spring-summer!
