We are so excited to announce that Battle of the Books battle season is almost here! Everyone is invited to attend one of the battles, if you are interested! Here are a few facts to know:
- Our Battles take place at the PS Miller Library in Castle Rock.
- Please be on time, late attendees will disrupt the battle and may not be allowed in.
- Please show our Cougar spirit and be respectful audience members. It is a formal and competitive program. We have a wonderful reputation in the district and our families are a big part of that!

Hope to see you there!

What is the Battle of the Books all about?
Douglas County Libraries’ Battle of the Books program started in the 2008-2009 school year. It has been a rousing success ever since! Each school that participates has a 3/4 grade team and a 5/6 grade team. The students read 10 books from a set list. The teams compete against each other in inter-school battles and then a bracket-style tournament of 8 teams to determine the winner for the branch. After the final branch battles, the winning teams move onto a district battle to determine the winners for all of Douglas County.
