their Library Facebook page, and students would then have the opportunity to bring in their answers. If students brought in correct answers to the
trivia questions, their name would be submitted into a drawing contest. The student whose name was chosen out of the drawing won the prize of free
books. The library staff were all very enthusiastic about the friendly and exciting contest, and hope to try another round of monthly trivia possibly later
in the school year. Here are the trivia questions, answers, and prize winners for the first contest held this past November.
