Oregon Battle of the Books: News
The Oregon Battle of the Books Committee thanks everyone for their participation
in the first year of our program! We're excited to begin another one,
especially with another year of LSTA funding support. The OBOB team is
currently working with a wonderful group of volunteers on creating 100
questions for each of the books selected and updating the Rules and Procedures.
Additionally, the OBOB team will meet in August to edit/adjust the Handbook/Rules/Procedures.
Once they are updated, we'll immediately place them on the OBOB website
for you and share the updates by email. For those already wondering,
we plan to distribute local OBOB questions in late December/early January.
Everyone
is invited to go to the link below and enter your information on
the on-line OBOB registration
form. This registration is a much easier
process than last year.
Thank
you, Debbie Alvarez, OBOB Chair
