Battle of the Books

Each year, several Northern Ohio Libraries build teams of students (entering grades 4-8 in the 2025-2026 school year) to read books and compete against the other libraries to see who can remember the most about what they’ve read. This year’s competition will be taking place on Saturday, September 6. If your child is interested in joining the 2025 Huron team, there will be an introductory meeting for more information about the annual tournament taking place on Wednesday, June 11 at 5:30 p.m. A parent/guardian should accompany all participants.

Popup practices will begin in August.
