The Ort Library is pleased to announce our 6th
Annual March Book Madness Tournament.
Each of the tournaments held during the past five years have been a success
because of students, faculty, and staff who vote to select our Champion. Just
like the NCAA Basketball Tournament held during March, the Ort Library holds
its own tournament that will crown one book the Champion of March Book Madness.
This year we are doing something different. The overall
Theme is Favorite Literary Character. Each bracket will be a different type of
literary character. You will vote for the character & book to advance to
the finals. 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 Friday March 1 and ends on Monday March 4.
Overall Theme this year is: Favorite
Literary Character
The 8 categories are:
- Heroes/Heroines
- Monsters
- Sidekicks
- Child/Young Adult
- Villains
- Detectives/Spies
- Parental Figures
- Anthropomorphic Characters
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 2, 2019.
There is just one way to vote, via the library guide that has been
created.
The guide can be
accessed via the following link:
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.
