The Competition: Participating libraries will compete each week in March for the most minutes read (to account for varying population sizes served between libraries, the results will be weighed by the library's # of active cardholders). This is an All-Ages competition and all kinds of reading counts: books, graphic novels, audiobooks, magazines, and newspapers. We don't plan to award any prizes for this competition - just glory!    The exact schedule of rounds and eliminations will be determined by how many libraries would like to participate. Here is a previous year's schedule for example: Week 1:  This week will be a “free for all” - all libraries will compete and the 16 libraries with the most minutes logged by 2pm on Thursday, March 7 will land a spot on the bracket. We will use the rankings from this week to seed the bracket for Week 2 (#1 vs. #16, #2 vs. #15, #3 vs. #14, and so on). Week 2:  16 libraries will compete in a bracket-style tournament. (For the less sporty amongst us - this means your library will be playing head-to-head against one other library. The winner moves forward to the next round). Week 3: 8 libraries will compete in a bracket-style tournament. 4 libraries will proceed to the “Fierce Four” "Fierce Four": 4 libraries compete in a bracket-style tournament for the chance to compete in the Championship round. Championship: the top two libraries compete for victory! https://newburylibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/minute-madness-4/
