On Thursday, June 12, 13 third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at
Piney Grove Elementary School attended a special summer reading kickoff based
on the book Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s
Library. Students worked together and individually to follow clues, solve
riddles and play the giant game.
“Our game board has been in its planning stage for 2 years,” said
media coordinator Natalie Strange. “In collaboration with O'Tressa Rinkavage
and Randal Anderson, our game board went up this year. Spurred on by the
discovery of the book Escape from Mr.
Lemoncello’s Library, which describes a library adventure filled with
riddles and a real live action game, we created both our summer reading program
– “The Game of Books” - and developed our Lemoncello night.
“Students who wanted to attend had to submit essays describing the
library of the future. The top 13 essayists were invited to attend the event
with their families. According to the essays, libraries of the future will have
holograms, robots, lots of games, petting zoos with unicorns, and imagination
rooms that allow you to step into a book of your choice as an interactive
character.
“WOW!”
