What is Battle of the Books After Hours?

Battle of the Books After Hours is an adults-only reading competition. Teams of 3-5 will read 6 preselected books (see booklist below) and then join in a trivia competition at Flood Zone Brewery (October 7) or 1623 Brewing Co. (October 21 & 28). Check out books from the booklist below or purchase from Park Books on Main. The competition will have two rounds of 20 questions in multiple formats: fill-in-the-blank, true or false, or multiple choice. Doors open at 5:30 PM to practice and purchase food and beverages. Teams will be sent full competition rules in advance. 

If you are interested in participating but do not have a team, email greatreads@carr.org, as soon as possible.
