March Book Madness 2018 Has Started!!!!

This is the 5th year of the Lewis J. Ort Library's March Book Madness.

  

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.

 

 

Voting for the Round of 64 begins on Thursday March 1 and ends on Sunday March 4.

 

The categories are:

• 21st Century Classics
• Books on TV
• Epics
• Horror
• Autobiographies
• Desert Island Stories
• Gangsters, Gumshoes, and Femme Fatales
• Mythology

 

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 Tuesday, April 3, 2018.

There is only way way to vote this year via the Library Guide that has been created for March Book Madness. 

 

 

The guide can be accessed via the following link: http://libguides.frostburg.edu/march-madness18

 

Some of the books for March Book Madness will also be available for you to check out on the main floor of the library (3rd floor). Just look for the display stand near the March Book Madness display case.
