At the Daniel Boone Regional Library, preparation for March Madness begins in the early winter months when we announce our list of 16 of our most popular young adult books.  Now the tournament heats up as those titles are seeded and face off in head-to-head competition. Each week in March, teens vote to narrow down the list of contenders until a single title emerges as the Mid-Missouri teen book champion!

Each round you vote, your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win cool prizes. March Madness is open to all teens ages 13-18 who live in either Boone or Callaway County, Missouri.

How it Works:
Round 1: Voting completed for the Elite Eight.
Round 2: VOTE NOW through March 9 for the Final Four.
Round 3: Vote March 10-16 for the final two contending titles.
Round 4: Vote March 17-27 for the book tournament champion.
March 31st: The champion is announced!

Each round that you vote, your name is entered into our prize drawing! Limit one ballot per person, per round.

And the Elite Eight are…
