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.
