Program Description

Event Details

Are you interested in participating in a Suffolk County-wide book-based competition?  Join the Battle of the Books!  The Suffolk County Battle of the Books is an inter-library book trivia competition, focusing on six young adult novels. Libraries across the island build teams, hold practice meetings and mini competitions through the summer, and then meet to “battle it out” in August.  Winning teams earn trophies and medals.  This program is open to youths entering grades 6th through 9th.
