Battle of the Books logo

 

Library Media & Textbook Services, along with WPS-TV and Media Production Services, host the annual Battle of the Books competition for elementary school students each January. Students read from a list of 64 books and need to be familiar with the characters, settings, problem and resolution of each story. Teams then compete in preliminary rounds at their schools in order to be selected for district-wide competitions at the WPS-TV studio.

The 30th season of Wichita Public Schools' Battle of the Books took place January 22-29, 2025. Competitions were broadcast live on Cox Cable channel 20 in Wichita and on WPS-TV. Each episode is available on YouTube.

Preparing for Battle of the Books? We will post the list for 2025-2026 as soon as becomes available.
