February 20, 2024, Hillsboro, OR - On Saturday, March 9, Liberty High School will host the 2024 Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) regional competition. Liberty has sent a team to OBOB for the past several years and is excited to serve as this year’s host.
OBOB is a statewide, voluntary reading program and competition for students in grades 3-12. that is sponsored by the Oregon Association of Libraries with the support of a Library Services and Technology Act grant. The mission of OBOB is: “to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, to promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students.”
The regional competition at Liberty will include seven high school teams from the area. These teams will engage in a trivia battle about a set list of twelve books. The winner will advance to the OBOB statewide competition on Saturday, April 13 at Chemeketa Community College in Salem.
