COM Library

Thanks so much to everyone that helped us celebrate National Library Week!  Throughout the week, the library was buzzing with fun! We hosted a book party, scavenger hunt, Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contest, Guess the Ducks, library vault lockout, Duck Hide ’n Seek, and classic games like Giant Jenga and Connect 4 — plus some seriously great snacks!  Our Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contestants made judging incredibly tough, but the winner was Professor Gwendolyn Barbee‑Yow, who wowed us as Dorian Gray, complete with portrait!  Our Guess the Ducks winner was Shani Johnson, Director of Instructional Support, who also joined the fun dressed as a Detective Inspector.  Check out photos of both winners—and all of our amazing Dress as Your Favorite Book Character contestants—below or see our Book Party photo album.        http://dlvr.it/TSDDLF

Gasoline prices surged by 18.9 percent in March 2026 compared to March 2025, according to new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. This increase was largely driven by a spike in crude oil prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
