Book Stacking 2019!

Each fall, we start off the year of Middle School Library contests with Book Stacking. In this contest, students are challenged to see how fast they can stack two boxes-worth of discarded books. Stacks must be straight up (no pyramids; one book on one book) and freestanding to count. Students can build individually, or in teams of two. Here are the winners:
