New Gaming Books & Collection

Thanks to our successful Scholastic Book Fair, I was able to purchase a lot of new books for our library. We got many copies of the books listed below for our new gaming section. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of them when they were first displayed. The gaming books were so popular, they were all checked out within a couple of hours of being put out. I’m going to order some more this weekend.
