Challenge of the Books

Challenge of the Books is a contest for Wyoming Middle School students who love to read.  The list of 12 books used for this competition is derived from the Wyoming Library Association's Indian Paintbrush nominee list.  The intent of this program is to encourage students to read from these specific book lists and to engage in a fun competition.
