We are a values based organization whose purpose is to nourish the hearts and minds of children with excellent literature. We believe every child is a gift from God and should be encouraged and given the opportunity to develop their potential through the discovery of reading.

Our aim is to support students in their love and discovery for reading by introducing them to quality literature, to offer books that build upon historical values and the dignity of life, and to develop friendships between students based upon socialization, competition and mutual respect.

All individuals, groups or organizations using any of our materials or services must adhere to our Mission Statement's purpose...creating literacy and the enjoyment of reading.

America's Battle of the Books has been in operation for over fifteen years. We are patterned after "battle of the books", a reading competition program, which has been used in schools for more than forty years.

Originally we were called Battle of the Books, starting in small rural school district in Belridge, California. When we grew outside of Kern County we became America's Battle of the Books. Now we are in more than half the states in the Union and our program is presently being used in schools overseas.

Our hope is to be in all fifty states in three years and to sponsor a national battle of the books competition by the year 2009 or sooner.
