The display for October will be a collection of books from the library relating to Halloween. It should be ready by next week, so come by and check out a book of scary stories, chronicle of the Salem witchcraft trials, or a book about Tennessee's own Bell witch.
Trivia Question for the Day: A young Army cadet, who was also a good running back and an even better placekicker, broke his leg and was told by doctors if he continued to play football and risked injury to the leg, he would be unable to continue his service in the Army. The young man felt service to his country was more important, so he gave up his college football career. Who was he?
Good luck with the trivia question and have a great day!
