Ahhh, Minecraft. That game for which we have dedicated an entire nonfiction shelf in the junior library, and about 30 e-book titles as well.
To our surprise, one morning, all of the books were gone from the shelf! (At least 20 books showed available, but were gone!) On the shelf were: a watch, a candy wrapper, 2 different leafs, a bit of a feather, and some brown fur. Also on the shelf were a package of puzzles with a taunting message about solving them to find the thief, and a note telling everyone that we would never find the culprit!
OH, MY!
Needless to say, this case needed some alert sleuths to track down the culprit. The library staff rounded up all of the possible suspects (the 7 puppets who did not go to the "puppet spa," a.k.a. cleaners) and interrogated them. Then, with the help of 70 students who stayed for a Late Night at the Library, we solved the puzzles and found the thief!
Note to everyone: don't ignore your friends to play a video game. Always make time for your friends so they do not steal the library books in hopes of stopping your game play.
This was a fun evening for junior school students. And it seems a new mystery is afoot.
