When students need a book, they simply come to the library to get one. BOB titles are only going to be available to those students whose parents are here at the meeting.
One book at a time so all students can use them.
Copies of these books may also be available at the Public Library.
Several titles are available on the Kindle site.

7. Battles consist of . . .
Rounds of alternating questions team against team
Students answer a question with a title and author
Team A is asked a question for 3 points, if they don’t get it right Team B may steal for 2 points
20 second time limit to collaborate with other team members on first question, 10 seconds on the steal
Team B then goes with the same steal option available to Team A
