MID-HUDSON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

Mid-Hudson Battle of the Books encourages a community of engaged middle- and high-school-aged readers in our five-county region by introducing them to great books, authors, and their fellow readers in an atmosphere of friendly competition and good sportsmanship.

If you are interested in signing your library up for Battle of the Books, please contact our President, Jane Enkler, at jenkler@beekmanlibrary.org.

If you are a patron interested in joining your team, please contact your local MHLS library to see if they have a team!
