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 Sacred Heart of Jesus (Junior) and St. Raphael (Senior), who claimed top honours in their divisions after thrilling matchups with John T. Tuck (Junior) and Ascension (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!

Members of the Senior Team from St. Raphael; known as The Page Turners.
