Battle Of The Books
A Summer Reading Extravaganza!
First offered in 2023, Brainerd's Battle of the Books develops a love of reading by immersing students in thought provoking books. The books, chosen in accordance with the MN State Reading Standards, help kids THINK about their lives & the lives of others.
​
This year, 200 4th-7th graders (next year's 5th-8th graders) will come together throughout the summer to:
-
discuss the themes,
-
meet the authors,
-
enjoy food from local establishments,
-
connect with the Brainerd Public Library,
-
play games,
-
and win prizes!
Additionally, September GRAND BATTLES - game show-style book competitions - increase the fun with winners receiving cash prizes up to $100!
