Murder in the Library!

Stop by the library and sign up for another "Murder in the Library" happening THIS FRIDAY, April 17, 2009, from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Join the library staff for some treats, crime solving, and prizes as we wrap up National Library Week! We have a maximum of sixty spaces available for this event.

There will once again be a murderer and a victim! We will again be joined by our own "Dr. Watson" as teams compete to see who will be the first to follow their clues and discover who did the dastardly deed. Teams will consist of six members. You can put together your own team or just come and sign up and we will add you to a team that needs additional members. Pictures from last year's event can be viewed in the sidebar.

Rules of the competition are as follows:

1. Each team must work together as one unit (you may NOT break up into smaller units in order to complete the tasks).
2. Choose a captain to speak for your team.
3. Each team will receive their first clue after you have entered the library.
4. If you have a question about a clue, there will be library staff roving on both levels. Ask one of them, but do not go to one of the station workers to ask for help.
5. If you leave the library before the event is over, you will NOT be let back into the library.
6. If one team finds another team’s clue, do NOT disturb it. You will be disqualified for this action.
7. When you have all of your clues and know who the murderer is, your captain will present the clues and the name to the judges at the reference desk.

Prizes are awarded to the top three teams and everyone receives something for participating so we hope you will join us on Friday.
