The SGIS Battle of the Books is a friendly inter-school book reading challenge that encourages students to become lifelong readers. Teams answer questions about a selection of eight books. There are three stages to the battle: The Elimination Round, the Internal ICS Battle of the Books, and the Final Competition. The first competition is the Elimination Round. It is held in the library. Teams write out the answers to 24 questions (three per book). From this competition, the three top-scoring teams go on to the internal ICS Battle of the Books competition. The team that wins the internal competition represents ICS in the Final Competition against teams from ZIS and ISZL.
