RCLS Battle of the Books 2022 Sunday, August 28 || 12pm-4pm SUNY Orange, Middletown Alumni Green If you love a fast-paced quiz show, this is the event for you! Be a part of the audience for this fun competition...
Battle of the Books is a college bowl-type program for teens entering 6th through the 12th grade. Participants in the RCLS program read eight preselected titles and then participate in trivia battles based on the books at a Regional Battle. The goal of the program is to promote a love of reading in teens, to expose them to titles and authors that they might not encounter otherwise, to encourage them to think of their local public library as a resource for entertainment and to inspire teamwork and good sportsmanship in an atmosphere of friendly competition.
