The Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a statewide reading competition for children in grades 3 through 12. The program is sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries.
Students read from the year’s booklist for their grade level and discuss the titles in teams. Each team prepares to answer trivia questions about the books. Teams compete in a tournament-style “battle” of knowledge about the books. Students who win battles at their school can advance to regional and state-level competitions.
