<p class="MsoNormal">The 2013-2014 Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) grant recipients have been announced!
<br>
<br>
All grant schools will receive two copies of each title in one division (3-5, 6-8, or 9-12). The 51 schools have been notified by email, but if you are curious about which schools were selected, you can view the list on the
<a href="http://oboblsta.pbworks.com/w/page/5653620/FrontPage" target="_blank">OBOB wiki</a> under "2013-2014 Grant Recipients!"<br>
<br>
Why the odd number? OBOB was able to give grants to all eligible schools this year and it seemed silly to drop off one school just to make a nice round number—so 51 it is!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eligibility included: currently registered to participate in OBOB, paid registration fee, not a recent grant recipient (going back one year).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Congratulations to our winners and thank you to the Oregon State Library for the LSTA/OASL grant and to OASL & OLA for the support and infrastructure that makes all this possible!<o:p></o:p></p>
