Last year's March Book Madness was such a success; the Ort
Library has decided to hold the March Book Madness Tournament again. Just like
the NCAA Basketball Tournament that will be held during March, the Ort
Library will hold its own tournament, only 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 each category, for a total of 64 books.
The categories selected are:
- Children’s Books
- Young Adult
- Books on Screen
- Graphic Novels
- American Lit
- Brit Lit
- Historical Fiction
- Banned Books
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 Monday April 6, 2015.
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 three ways to vote:
- Paper ballots will be available in the library by the March Book Madness display case.
- 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/march-madness-2015
- 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 6 and ends
on Monday March 9. Voting for the titles in the Round of 32 will begin on March
10 and end on March 13. Voting for the Sweet 16, the Elite 8, the Final Four,
and the Championship will take place after Spring Break.
