What is Battle of the Books After Hours?
Battle of the Books After Hours is an adults only reading competition. Teams of 2-5 will read 6 preselected books (see booklist below) and then join in a trivia competition at 1623 Brewing. Check out books from the booklist below or purchase from A Likely Story Bookstore. 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 5:30pm to practice and purchase food and beverages from a food truck and 1623 Brewing. 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.
