Mystery Readers Revealed!

A huge thank you to our Pajama Storytime Mystery Readers who brought a lot of humor and fun storytelling to the GUFS library on a school night! View below a video of the surprise opening routine of Mrs. King, Mrs. Martini, and Mrs. Marsh. Other mystery readers were revealed as Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. Karp, Mrs. Ricci, Mrs. Khuns, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Colucci, a third-grade student, and Mrs. Impellittiere. A special thanks also goes to the Desmond-Fish Children's Librarian Polly Townsend for organizing and leading an engaging bookmaking collage craft.
