March Madness Author Tournament at the Smyrna Library

The first brackets are "Teen Dystopia: Veronica Roth vs. Suzanne Collins" and "Comic Satire: Christopher Buckley vs. Carl Hiaasen."

In the spirit of the NCAA basketball tournament that officially tipped off on Tuesday, the Smyrna Public Library has offered up its own version of March Madness with its “March Madness Tournament of Authors.”

Voting will take place at the Library itself or on the Library’s Facebook Page, as authors who wrote books in the same genre will be paired against each other. Whoever receives the most votes will advance.

Tuesday’s brackets were "Teen Dystopia: Veronica Roth vs. Suzanne Collins" and "Comic Satire: Christopher Buckley vs. Carl Hiaasen."
