<div dir="ltr">My aide, student helpers and I just try to identify some popular books that year. We always pick a handful of Caudills and try not to pick books that have won in our competition in recent years. We used to do a full 60+ bracket like the NCAA, but after a couple years realized it was too much. We switched to 16 books last year and it was fantastic. We even had a huge display on our windows that really increased interest in the competition (see photo below!).<div><br></div><div><div><img src="cid:ii_k264gwax0" alt="March Book Madness 2019.JPG" width="472" height="354"><br></div><div><br></div><div>Good luck Kathy!
