The Lewis J. Ort Library is pleased to announce the First March
Book Madness Tournament.
In honor of the NCAA Basketball Tournament that will be held
during March, the Lewis J. Ort Library decided to hold its own tournament. Our
tournament will crown one book the Champion of March Book Madness. Eight
different categories of books were selected and through a tough and rigorous
process, the library staff narrowed down the list of books to eight books in eight
categories, for a total of 64 books.
The categories are:
- Fantasy
- Science Fiction
- Horror
- Mystery
- Romance
- Non-Fiction
- Contemporary Literature
- Classics
Just like in the NCAA Tournament, we will start out with 64
teams (books). Student, faculty, and staff votes will determine which books
move onto the Round of 32. Once the 32 books are selected, additional rounds of
voting will take place to get to the Championship title game.
The Champion Book will
be crowned on Friday April 4, 2014.
Some of the books selected for March Book Madness will be
available for your review on the main floor of the library (3rd
floor). Just look for the March Book Madness display case.
There are four ways to vote:
1.
Paper ballots will be available in the library
by the March Book Madness display case.
2.
A Library Guide has been created so that you can
see the brackets and vote online. The guide can be accessed via the following
link: http://libguides.frostburg.edu/book-madness
3.
On the Library Guide, there is a PDF bracket
that you can fill in and e-mail to tmmastrodonato@frostburg.edu
Voting for the Round of 64 begins on Friday March 7 and ends
on Tuesday March 11. Voting for the titles that move to the Round of 32 will
begin on March 12 and end on March 15. Voting for the Sweet 16, the Elite 8,
the Final Four, and the Championship will take place after Spring Break.
