Get ready, get set... READ! It's Battle Time… time for local youth to form their teams for the 10th annual Battle of the Books competition at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St.
Battle of the Books is a literature contest for 4th and 5th grade students in Racine County where teams comprised of 4 students are asked to read and become knowledgeable about the content of 40 books selected by Racine Public Library librarians. Teams may be formed with students from the same or different schools. Teams with both 4th and 5th graders are accepted.
Meets are held in a public forum where team members are asked random questions about the books they read. Points are accumulated based on the number of correct answers. The team with the highest score among all participating teams is declared the champion.
A link to the 2009/2010 reading list, general information, and team registration form may be found at http://www.racinelibrary.info/YouthServicesBOB.htm. Registration for this year's Battle of the Books will only be accepted on-line. Registration closes December 21, 2009.
