About OBOB
The Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a statewide reading competition for students in grades 3 through 12. Students can team up (generally in groups of 4) to read the books selected by the volunteer state committee. The program at Centennial is organized and run by our amazing librarian, Chris Phillips.
Timeline: Books for the following year are generally announced each spring. Teams generally form and begin practicing together in the fall. School battles are typically in February. The winning team will advance to the regional tournament, typically in March.
