5th Grade Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a reading competition for all area fifth grade students designed to foster a love of reading and encourage students to read books outside of the classroom. Students form teams with fellow students, spend five months reading 12 books selected by RHPL youth librarians, and then come together to compete in a “battle” (trivia contest) consisting of 50 questions to test their knowledge of the books they have read.
