For those of you who were following the Silent Library thread, Geneseo High School held our competition on Wednesday to celebrate National Library Week.  I have posted a highlight reel to YouTube:  https://youtu.be/vj4K_BgF3cE.  After the fun and games, I even had a sophomore boy say he should “come back and check out a book sometime.”  Whatever it takes to get them through the door :-)

Have a fantastic weekend!
