Maplewood Oregon Battle of the Books
Oregon Battle of the Books
The Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. Students in 3rd -12th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. OBOB’s mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students. Maplewood OBOB is run by a volunteer team of parents with copious help from our librarian Elin Kordahl. Our goals are participation and equity! We hold all battle during the school day allowing any student that wants to participate to do so. Please reach out with questions and happy reading.
