Battle of Books good experience for team

A Brillion Library team of 4 teens participated in the  recent Manitowoc-Calumet Library System Battle of the Books competition held at the Conference Center at Silver Lake College.  Teen were questioned on their knowledge of 8 young adult books that were selected by the librarians for this competion.  3 Teams that correctly answered the most questions in the 2 preliminary rounds of competion met in a final round to determine the champion for the system.  This year's winner was the Chilton Public Library, who won for the second year in a row.

Brillion was represented by a team consisting of Katelynn Fuhrman, Katherine Hopman, Rebecca Phipps, and Jessica Jones.  They were coached by Kathy Potthast, Cheryl Glaeser, and Carol Hauser.  While the team didn't make the finals this year, they did have a respectible showing for a team of 4.  The winning team (Chilton) and the runner up team (Kiel) both had 10 youth on the team.  This gave them a bigger pool of readers to draw answers from.

The Battle of the Books has been a yearly event of the MCLS Library System.  Brillion teams have won twice in the past as have Chilton and Kiel teams.  It is a great opportunity for youth who are readers to excel in a competion based on their reading.  We thank our team member and coaches who spent the time to prepare for this competion.

We encourage all of our youth in grades 7-12  and especially those who enjoy reading to be a part of the Battle of the Book program.  Watch for the list of the selected books next June and make plans to be a part of the battle.  Let's show Chilton, Kiel, New Holstein, Manitowoc, and Two Rivers that we have the top readers around!  See you next Battle!
