Monthly Trivia Questions

Beginning this week, the library staff will post a trivia question about an author or a book. Patrons may respond via comments or bring answers in person to the Patron Services desk. All correct responses will be gathered, and one winner will be drawn at the end of each month. That person may choose to have fines forgiven up to $5 or may choose up to five DVDs from our collection at no charge.
