About us...
The Central Texas Battle of the Books was created and hosted for three years by Region 13. The Battle experienced exponential growth over the years and eventually outgrew its home. The Battle is a much-loved event and so librarians Annie Colvin (Lockhart Junior High School), Elizabeth Switek (Austin Discovery School), and Monica Cantu (Bertha Sadler Means Young Women's Leadership Academy, Austin ISD) decided to take over leadership. The Battle continues with essentially the same structure and rules as in past years.
In 2017 it was hosted at Lockhart Junior High School, in 2018 it was hosted at Austin Discovery School, in 2019 it was hosted at Bertha Sadler Means Young Women' Leadership Academy in AISD, and in 2020 Lockhart Junior High will host it at the Region 13 Education Service Center. Check the home page for the full details and be sure to register early (by January 31, 2020)! If you are curious about what the competition day looks like, check out these three videos from the 2018 competition (Round 1, Round 2 and "and the winners are") : www.facebook.com/pg/austindiscoveryschool/videos/?ref=page_internal
