Battle of the Books 2017
(14 pictures )
Five library teams faced off against each other in this exciting battle of literary knowledge and speed, hosted by Stow this year. This year's books: All Fall Down by Carter, Booked by Alexander, The Iron Trial by Black and Clare, and Dangerous by Hale. Hudson Library & Historical Society and Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library won the first, "Semi-Final" battle against Cuyahoga Falls Library and Twinsburg Public Library. Stow and Hudson then competed against last year's winner, Akron-Summit County Public Library. Hudson ended up winning the Final Battle, with Stow in second and Akron in third. Congratulations to all the teams for their great efforts! We enjoyed hosting the battle this year.

Teens worked in teams to find clues and solve puzzles in order to unlock five locks before time ran out! The theme was "Radically 80's", so the first step was figuring out 1980's technology: how to play an audiocassette tape!

Wow!

Teens kicked off the summer reading season at this fun program, where they had to perform various silly tasks within a time limit, racing against another team, and supposedly SILENTLY, too! (But we quickly threw that rule out the window.)
