Adult Battle of the Books

This year, we’re inviting the adult readers to get in on the fun!

Grab your friends and form a team of 2-6 people. After you choose your team name and vision board your team costume, read six books over six months, and then join us on Saturday, September 26, for a fun-filled battle (trivia contest).

Register one person per team to get updates and reminders about the event. Copies of the books are available at the Adult Reference desk on the 2nd floor and on Libby or Hoopla.
