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.  Check the home page for the full details and be sure to register early!  If you are curious about what the competition day looks like, check out this video from Leslie Barrett and Region 13's competition in 2015: Region 13 video.

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 will continue with the same structure and rules as in past years
