GLENDORA, CA β€” Literary war will break out in Glendora on Sept. 30 when the Battle of the Books returns to the library.

The event involves 15 teams of youths reading three different books and memorizing as many facts as possible from them before they face off against each other in a trivia competition, according to organizers. The battle will begin at 6 p.m. in the library’s Bidwell Forum.

Guests chosen by each battle team will make up the in-person audience, and the public can watch the event on Glendora's YouTube page.
