Foundation is Proud to Support Battle of the Books

May 29, 2020

The Foundation is proud to support Battle of the Books, now virtual and starting today! Many elementary and middle school students spent most of the school year reading Maryland Black-Eyed Susan nominees in preparation for Battle of the Books, a book-based competition where students compete in teams to answer questions related to the content of the books. Due to COVID-19, the competitions were cancelled. In an effort to celebrate and still recognize the efforts of each and every participating student, the library replaced the battle with a series of virtual events, including virtual author appearances. Learn more on the Baltimore County Public Library website.

Thank you to Sylvan Learning, a proud sponsor of Battle of the Books, for helping to make this programming possible. With five locations in greater Baltimore, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of personal learning for students in grades K-12 with in-center programs and in-home tutoring, offered live and online during the COVID-19 crisis. Sylvan also leads the way with college and test prep courses, STEM and accelerated courses. Sylvan supports families through every stage of the academic journey.
