Bibliobatte is a social book review game which was developed in the Graduate school of Informatics at Kyoto University.
We held Bibliobattle Festa 2010 in Super Networking 2010 last year.
That was really exciting!!
After the festa, Bibliobattle became more and more popular all over Japan.
For example, Tokyo prefecture adopted Bibliobattle as a main event in a cultural festival about "reading ability". NHK, the most famous TV channel, took up Bibliobattle as a news topic several times.
Now, Bibliobattle fest is BACK!!
Please join in Bibliobattle, talk about your favorite book which is related to the topic "Broadening Horizons" and enjoy discussion in English.
You (speakers) can bring your favorite book to the event.
You can talk about the book to the audience in 5 min as a Bibliobattler :-).
The most popular book will be elected as a "Champion Book of the Day" by the audience and speakers.

What's Bibliobattle???
Bibliobattle is a style of social book reviewing.
In Bibliobattle, participants introduce their favorite books
and select a “Champ Book of the Day” at the end.
Sometimes a theme is set for selecting books.
This is all about Bibliobattle. It is simple, isn’t it?
Throughout this simple activity, we aim to enhance communication between the participants.
We have a short movie explaining the rules of Bibliobattle.
