On Saturday, Aug. 13 many libraries throughout Suffolk County gathered at StonyBrook University to compete in the 15th annual Battle of the Books competition. Six young adults from the Port Jefferson Free Library Teen Center, who called themselves the Book Busters, had read eight pre-selected book titles and perfected these books for the final battle that happened on Saturday.

Coaches and young adult librarians, Colleen Cheshire and Samantha Winter held weekly meetings and mock battles to prepare the teens for the final accomplishment. Prizes were awarded and metals were given out at the battle and all teens walked out with a huge smile on their face.

Congratulations to Matthew, Abigail, Ryan, Jefferson, Isabella and Ginny!
