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 lsta_oema@yahoo.com
