Tournament of Books

Get ready for the Tournament of Books, a March Madness style book competition. Sixteen books will compete for the championship title, but only one book can win.

The sixteen most popular books this year (according to library circulation) are:

These sixteen books will compete head-to-head against other favorites, until we narrow the field down to one champion. You will notice that many of these titles are one book in a series. For this competition, any book in the series will count toward voting. The official tournament bracket will be posted outside of the cafeteria. Watch the bracket for voting dates and results.
