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. Students in 3rd-12th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints.
OBOB’s mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students.
OBOB is run primarily by volunteers through the Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL) and funded partially through the Library Services and Technology Act, LSTA. OASL, and OBOB operating under its umbrella, are committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-oppression in our organization, policies, and practices.
Oregon Battle of the Books Region 7B is selling t-shirts, hoodies and crewnecks from Monday, January 28th until Monday, February 17th. The items for sale provide students an opportunity to display their participation in the Oregon Battle of the Books, whether their team made the regional tournament or not.
Ten percent (10%) of sales will go back to Region 7B where resources can be purchased for schools that struggle to obtain enough materials to participate.
All purchased merchandise will be delivered to the regional tournament in Culver on Saturday, March 1st. Coaches will be able to pick up a box(es) for their school. Inside the boxes, students' names will be alphabetized with the items that they purchased.
Enjoy your shopping experience and Thank You for your support of Region 7B Oregon Battle of the Books!
