Springville OBOB 2024-25
The Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. Books go through a selection process to become part of the program.
Teams of 4 students compete against other teams by answering questions about the 16 OBOB books, thus "battling". Students learn teamwork, responsibility, integrity, and reading, listening and speaking skills, as well as winning and losing gracefully. The school champion represents Springville at the regional competition.
