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 Soaring Eagle and Indian Paintbrush nominee lists. The intent of this program is to encourage students to read from these specific book lists and to engage in a fun competition.

Challenge of the Books (CoB) Teams - A local competition is held among LMS teams, if we have more than one. We generally have three. The winning team advances to a competition with area schools like Worland, Cody, Greybull, Rocky Mountain, Cloud Peak, Burlington and Thermopolis. Schools rotate who hosts the competition and there is a trophy that is passed along from year to year.
The local Challenge of the Books

The regional challenge will be in
February 2023.
(Our team placed 3rd at the
regional competition in February 2022.)
