Another successful Library Club lock-in. Our students had a blast and we laughed our way through the night! They played minute-to-win-it, decorated travel mugs, challenged their brains to name all 50 states, ran the halls for a photo scavenger hunt, ate snacks and did trivia! We hope they all napped today like the sponsors did! #HBRLibraryClub #WideAwakeRoyals
