Event Details

Join us for our second annual summer edition of Battle of the Books between the La Grange, La Grange Park, Brookfield and Thomas Ford Memorial libraries. Once registration is complete, we will place you in teams of five.

Want to make sure you’re placed in a team with friends? Just include a team name in parentheses after your name when registering. Example: Michael Scott (Paperbacks). 

Read the five battle books listed below, then in August, compete virtually against your peers. Register with a valid e-mail at the library of your choosing to receive program updates and the Zoom competition link. Ask at our Reference desk to request copies of all five books.
