BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

The Stone Ridge Library is excited to be taking part in the Mid-Hudson Library System's 7th annual Battle of the Books as part of our 2011 Summer Reading Program. Battle of the Books is a nationally recognized literature contest in which young people engage in friendly competition by answering trivia questions based on specific books that they have read.

Our own Stone Ridge Library team "The Popsicles" will be going to battle against 23 other MidHudson libraries this Saturday, September 10th. All participating teens and teams have read and studied the same eight books during the summer. They have done a phenomenal job preparing for the battle and we wish them much luck. Team members are: Silvie, Lizzy, Sasha, Stella, Maureen, Cree, Levi, Goldie, and Jarek.
