Grand Battle of the Books Winners
The energy was electric at Burlington Public Library’s Central Branch during this year’s Burlington Grand Battle of the Books tournament. Teams brought their A-game to a fun-filled morning of fierce (but friendly!) competition, cheered on by proud families, enthusiastic friends, and dedicated coaches.
A huge congratulations to John W. Boich (Junior) and Charles R. Beaudoin (Senior), who claimed top honours in their divisions after thrilling matchups with St. Anne (Junior) and Sacred Heart of Jesus (Senior). And a BIG thank you and applause to all the readers and participating schools that took part in Battle this year—your hard work, team spirit, and love of books were truly spectacular!
