Battle of the Books
MTBoB's mission is to recognize and challenge students who enjoy reading, to encourage and motivate reluctant readers, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension and fluency, to promote academic excellence, and to foster cooperative learning and teamwork among students.
An enthusiastic group of Montana librarians is working to make the Montana Battle of the Books a true statewide program. Students in 3rd to 8th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. Book selections include a wide range of genres, including everything from graphic novels to classics.
MTBoB is run completely by volunteers. 2025 Dates TBD.
