You don’t need to be made of solid muscle to play our version of the MTV show, Silent Library, and we promise not to try to make you vomit. We will try to make you laugh, though!
Silent Library
Tuesday, October 8, 3:30-5:30
When your friends are being humiliated with zany challenges, do you have the strength to just stand and watch? For example…have you ever seen someone make a sandwich using only their feet? Just like the popular MTV show, if you can stay silent while your friends are going berserk, we will give you prizes!
By now, we hope you know that we don’t usually give you the (shh) finger…but come on by for Silent Library, and we’ll make exceptions to that rule.
Want to play, but would rather see someone else humiliated than do it yourself? Check out one of these books!

I love you, Beth Cooper, by Larry Doyle.

Cringe: teenage diaries, journals, notes, poems, and abandoned rock operas, by Sarah Brown.
If you’ve ever read one of your own diaries from years gone by only to be filled with the sudden urge to light a match, buy a paper shredder, or move far far away, consider reading someone else’s loot, instead. If you’re extra nosy, there’s more like it here and here.
