Battle of the Books

The Academy at Lincoln BOB Teams (EBOB & MBOB)

The signup window for 2025-26 Battle of the Books has CLOSED as of Monday, 9/15/2025. The club is at capacity.

Battle of the Books (BOB) is a statewide academic competition program, sponsored by the NC School Library Media Association. NCSLMA sponsors BOB for Elementary, Middle, and High School competitions. 

Students at participating schools read books from a list established annually by the state Battle of the Books committees and then compete in quiz-bowl-style tournaments to test their knowledge of these books.

Per BOB competition rules, each school's team can only bring 12 students to the competition for their level (EBOB, MBOB, &/or HBOB). If more than 12 students are participating the EBOB &/or MBOB clubs at Lincoln, selections for the competitive teams will be made by early January.

Club Sponsor/BOB Coach:

Ms. Noland, Library Media Specialist
