The Battle of the Books is a competition organized by CEC
librarian Ms. Allen. This is the first year for the program which
involved four participating schools throughout CCRSB. Students in participating
schools read twelve books from which questions were taken. The books comprising
the battle are former Teen Reader’s Choice Award titles. The battles were held
at CEC on 30 May 2016.
The Battle of the Books was undertaken this year as a means
of celebrating five years of the Teen Reader’s Choice Award. The battle is also
seen as a way to encourage and promote the joy of reading while fostering an
atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation.
The
competition was fierce! The final results, after six rounds of competition,
were as follows:
1st place: Cobequid Educational Centre
2nd place: North Colchester High
3rd place: Hants North
4th place: Bible Hill Junior High
