The Battle of the Books competition, coordinated by Mesquite ISD Library Services, is designed to encourage students to read, discuss, and enjoy great literature in a team setting. Students work together to read and study a set of 10 books covering a variety of genres. They use their knowledge of these texts to choose the correct book title for each question presented during the competition. Teams from multiple schools compete in a preliminary competition and the top 7 teams in each division advance to the Finals.

Registration:  Opens Fall 2025
