Battle of the books is a competition for students in grades 4-5 and 6-8, in which teams from local schools read a selected list of books and compete against each other using their knowledge of those books. It is sponsored by the library as a way to encourage young readers to develop the habit of reading for personal enjoyment and enrichment. The books selected for this program include classics in literature, Newberry Award winning titles, Young Hoosier Book Award winning titles, and currently acclaimed books for young readers that offer diversity in genre and reader appeal.
