I am very proud to announce that the first-ever National Trivia Championship will be taking place at ALA’s National Conference in Washington DC this year!
The event will be held starting at 5:00 on Saturday, June 25th at the Marriott Marquis Independence Salon A. It is a ticketed event – you can either pay in advance ($10) with your conference registration, or you can pay at the door – whatever works for you!
The format will be team-based trivia, with ten rounds of questions. Teams can be any size (so long as they fit at a table) but the bigger your team, the more people you’ll have to split the winnings with – and there are winnings… Visa gift cards (a $500 prize pool!) will be provided as prizes for the top teams, but the real prize is being able to walk away with the title of:
BEST REFERENCE LIBRARIANS IN AMERICA!
We’re very happy to be partnering with our friends at RUSA and at NMRT to make this project a reality, and hope to see you there!
