The Oregon Battle of the Books is a fabulous contest for students all over Oregon and we want to set you all up for success!  

In combination with our Unofficial Battle of the Books program at JCLS, Medford Teen will be hosting a book club for our teens around the 6^th to 8^th Grade Division list of the 2024-2025 book list. Our Teen Advisory Group has chosen 9 books from the list and we will be reading and discussing them this school year.  If you participate, you can earn badges and participate in great conversations and debates!

*Please note: This is a discussion group.  We will be talking about all areas of the month's book.  There will be spoilers.
