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 met in August to edit/adjust the
Handbook/Rules/Procedures.
For those already wondering,
we plan to distribute local OBOB questions in late December/early January.
Registration
is closed.
Thank
you, Debbie Alvarez, OBOB Chair

were impressed, enjoyed your OBOB experience, please share your time with our
committee in planning 2008-2009. There are smaller and larger jobs!** |
