Every year, librarians and reading specialists are invited to take part in selecting the books for the following year’s book lists. Volunteers are then recruited to read the books and create questions to be asked at the events. Berks, Bucks, Chester, Carbon Lehigh, Delaware, Lancaster-Lebanon, and Montgomery Counties take turns in coordinating this process and share the lists amongst each other.

If there are books on the list that you feel are unsuitable for your students to read, then they do not have to read them. Please let us know of these concerns so we can pass along the feedback. During the actual event, though, questions will not be discarded because a team has not read a book.
