Calling all readers in third through twelfth grades! The downtown Klamath County Library is recruiting for our latest Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) season, and this year we’re aiming to participate in the regional tournament in Medford in the spring!
This year we’re forming teams from three age groups – 3rd through 5th grade, 6th through 8th grade, and high schoolers in 9th through 12th grade – will read at least one of their age bracket’s Battle of the Books titles and prepare to battle in trivia games about the books. Battle of the Books meetings combine the fun of a book club and the competitive energy of team trivia games! The teams will meet on Thursdays at 4:30 pm monthly:
- Third to Fifth Grade: Every second Thursday of the month from September 12th to March 13th.
- Sixth to Eighth Grade: Every third Thursday of the month from September 19th to March 20th.
- Ninth to Twelfth Grade: Every fourth Thursday of the month from September 26th to March 27th.
Children in the equivalent grades of homeschool are also welcome to join.
Team members are not expected to know everything about every OBOB book – Battle of the Books competitions are team events where players collaborate on the correct answer. (Read as many books as you like, but we encourage “specializing” in at least one or two titles, so you can pay close attention to details! You may want to read the books you specialize in more than once.)
Registration is required! Register by filling out the form at forms.gle/KD2XwrA9iAnrB9Xo7 or in person at the downtown library.
