In Elementary Library, Third and Fourth Grade students were treated to a virtual author visit from R.L. Stine, "The King of Horror" on Halloween. Stine read excerpts to our students from the first book of his Goosebumps "House of Shivers" series called "Scariest.Book.Ever." This book was just released last month. Students were also able to interact with Stine and ask him questions, and they played trivia at the end of the visit. Third and Fourth Grade students received a copy of the book as a gift from our librarian to have as a memory from the visit.
