Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books

NCSLMA sponsors Battle of the Books for Elementary, Middle, and High School competitions.  

Battle of the Books began as a program for middle school students, grades 6-8. The program has expanded to include the elementary and high school levels. Students at participating schools read books from a list established by the state Battle of the Books committees and then compete in quiz-bowl-style tournaments to test their knowledge of these books.
