Battle of the Books<br />
Battle of the Books is starting its 50th season!<br />
Students in public, private, and home schools read<br />
books from a set list and compete throughout<br />
the school year. A year-end event celebrates<br />
accomplishments and provides students with an<br />
opportunity to meet an author or illustrator. It is<br />
estimated that 18,500 kids have participated in the<br />
previous 49 years. This program is a collaborative<br />
with three public libraries: Gail Borden, Bartlett<br />
and Poplar Creek. For more information, visit<br />
