Are you ready for it? March Reading Madness is here at Seymour Library! That’s right—we’re hosting our very own Tournament of Books, and YOU get to decide the champion!

How It Works
We’ve gathered the most checked-out books (a total of 16 books) from our shelves and put them head-to-head in a thrilling bracket-style showdown. Each day, you’ll have the chance to vote for your favorite, narrowing down the competition round by round until we crown the ultimate winner!

Check back daily for updates right here on our blog, where we’ll announce the latest matchups and results. Will your favorite book take the title?
Join the Madness!
Thank you for joining the fun these last couple of weeks as we’ve watched our favorite reads battle it out! It has been nail-biting with many twists and turns, and our readers rallied for their favorite books, with Iron Flame rising through the ranks to claim the championship!
Final Winner!
