Battle of the Books is a book group for fourth-grade students, offered by NOLS in collaboration with schools in Clallam County. During the 2022-23 school year, 225 students at 15 schools and three homeschools participated in monthly discussions with NOLS youth services librarians. Each student received free copies of four books to keep.

FINAL TRIVIA COMPETITION – MARCH 24

As a culmination of the program, school teams can take part in a trivia-style competition from 6:30-7:30pm on Friday, March 24, at the Port Angeles Main Library.

Students Must Check-in by 6:15pm
All students participating in the competition must check-in with Library staff in the Carver Meeting Room by 6:15pm. Failure to check-in on time may result in an alternate student being used on the team.

This program is generously supported in part by local Friends of the Library groups.
