Battle of the Books

The purpose of the Elementary Battle of the Books (EBOB) program is to encourage students to read. This is accomplished through exposure to quality literature by prominent authors representing a variety of literary styles. The Elementary Battle of the Books program is overseen by the North Carolina School Library Media Association; visit their website at www.ncslma.org for more information. The game-style competition format creates excitement and interest in reading, improving students’ reading skills and exposing students to literature that they might not choose on their own.

The Battle of the Books program is open to 4th and 5th grade students at Pine Valley Elementary School.

The 2020-2021 Elementary Battle of the Books List is listed below. Books can be checked out from the New Hanover County Public Library, NC Kid's Digital Library and/or Hoopla!
