Battle of the Books

Are you ready to relive your junior-high Battle of the Books glory days?

Well you've come to the right club page! We have taken a love of books and a little healthy competition and created the first-ever high-school version of Battle of the Books in the state of Illinois (at least that we know of!). Whether you like Mystery, Romance, Realistic, Historical, or Science Fiction, we pick the genres that you want to spend your spare time reading!

Check out our Battle of the Books Instagram at lths_battleofthebooks to see pics of our spring competition and meetings throughout the year.

We generally meet after school every other Wednesday in the South Campus Library. Come see what high school Battle of the Books is all about!
