A team of Parkwood Elementary 4th and 5th graders won the Shoreline Global Reading Challenge held Feb. 27 at Shoreline Center. The "Parkwood Book Warriors" coached by librarian Sharon Turpin edged 10 other teams. Parkwood advances to the regional challenge later this month at the Bothell Library. 

The Global Reading Challenge is a cooperative effort between King County Library System and local public school districts. This is a Battle of the Books-style program that allows 4th and 5th graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. Each year, King County Library System children's librarians select 10 titles in a wide range of reading levels especially suited to the interests of young readers.
