📚 Battle of the Books 2026 was one for the books at Rouge Park!
An incredible turnout filled the room with energy, teamwork, and book-loving spirit. We were thrilled to welcome author @authoremilydeibert , writer of Bea Mullins Takes a Shot, for a special visit with participants.
The competition came down to an intense sudden death showdown between Rouge Park and Henderson Avenue, going an unbelievable 3 rounds into sudden death before a champion was finally crowned to Henderson Avenue! 🏆📖
Huge congratulations to all the students who participated and brought their passion, knowledge, and sportsmanship to this year’s event. #BattleOfTheBooks #LibraryLife #ReadingCommunity #BookLovers #MarkhamLibraries
