Program Description

Specific Event Details

Build a team and compete against your neighbors in this bookish trivia battle, hosted in collaboration with the Northville District Library! 

Steps to victory:

  1. Find some book-loving friends to join your battle group. Then register online with a team of 3-5 people. Only one person should enter the registration for all team members. If you would like to participate but can't find a team, please email lwiest@plymouthlibrary.org.
  2. Read the five titles on the booklist. You can split the books between team members or everyone can read all five.
  3. Show up at the PDL Grand Reopening Celebration on March 14th to compete against other teams with trivia questions pulled directly from the book list. The team with the most right answers gets the glory (and a $20 Elephant Ear Books gift card for each team member)!

Booklist:

  • The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros
  • The Word is Murder, Anthony Horowitz
  • Signal Fire, Dani Shapiro
  • The Wealth of Shadows, Graham Moore
  • Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Let the battle begin!
