Mystery week


     
 

October 8th - 11th was mystery week in the library.  We had a lot of fun reading and exploring mysteries.  One of the greatest mysteries in the library is who is the tape out line and what happened to them?  Even if I knew, I would never tell.

We had a lot of fun displaying all of our fun mystery books in our library this week.  Hopefully your student(s) came home with some fun books to read!
