Students at Piney Grove Elementary Imagine Library of the Future


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!”
