March into reading madness with Booketology, the Kansas City Public Library’s spring tournament of books! Sixty-four books will hit the court starting Thursday, March 15. Which title will triumph? That’s up to you.
Bracketology – n. The process of predicting the field of the NCAA tournament.
What is Booketology? It’s battle royale of books, an epic rumble of reads to rival any college basketball tourney.
Thursday, March 15 – April 2, 2012, the Kansas City Public Library invites patrons to pit well-known favorites from eight genres against each other in a March Madness-style throwdown to determine which book (and ultimately which genre) is best.
We chose the books, you vote for the winners.
Here’s the bracket. Print it, fill it out, and follow along. (Click the image below for a larger version.)
(For best printing results, choose "File" > "Print Preview", and scale the image to fit on a single page.)
