As always, the health and safety of our community is our top priority. In accordance with recommendations from public health officials to cancel non-essential gatherings, we are postponing or canceling programs, and other library events starting Friday March 13th through the 31st.

Unfortunately, this does mean that Battle Five has been cancelled and the scores earned during Battle Four are the final points for the 2019-2020 Season.

Congratulations to all of our Battle teams for a great Battle season. A special congratulations goes to Pennoyer who sealed their victory today. St. Monica Blue took second place with a tie for third place between Giles and St. Monica White. Overall, a great showing for all the teams. All the participants should be very proud of their efforts.

Please check back for information regarding the status of the Battle Awards Ceremony and our author visit. Again, the health and safety of our community is our top priority, and as such we are unsure at this time whether the Battle Awards Ceremony will go forth as scheduled. Please be assured that if the Battle Awards Ceremony does have to be cancelled, certificates, trophies, and medals will be distributed to the schools.

Once more, congratulations to all Battle participants.
