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!

Registration will be first come, first served through Brainerd's Community Education Summer Catalog, opening MAY 7!​​​​​​​​​
