On Friday, September 7 the Library will be holding a Murder Mystery.  We invite all Cairn Students to join us as we work to discover who killed Dr. Ima Gonner.  There will be food, a costume contest and a chance to have a lot of fun with your friends. 

The Story

Set in the 1940's the World is at War.  But in the midst of a country manor a different drama is playing out.  Professor Digory Kirke (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) has invited many of the notable names of the era to the party to listen to Dr. Gonner's findings. Dr. Ima Gonner has discovered through her research that much of the literature is not what it seems.  Will she live to tell the tale?  

Meanwhile Father Brown, G.K. Chesterton's famed character, will be on hand to handle any unexpected events of the evening. Please join us for a night of intrigue.  The doors open at 8:00 pm.  Be sure to sign up for teams prior to the event in the library.  Or you can be added to teams still looking for additional players.

8:00         The doors open 80 players can be admitted.
8:00-8:30 Food and Costume contest

Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys . . . libraries have been the gateway to thousands of murders over the years; murders on trains and planes, murders in the library and murders at parties. There is an entire subset of the fiction genre devoted to such alarming mysteries. The librarians of the Masland Library want our students to join the national past-time of solving crimes and will host our own murder and masquerade this Friday, September 26.

Students will begin the night mingling with the accused at a Masquerade party. Sometime during this party our beloved Professor Dodgson will be murdered. It is the student’s job to follow the clues in pursuit of the killer.

Join the fun this Friday at 9:00 pm in the lobby of the Masland Library. There is a sign-up at the Readers’ Services desk. Space for this event is limited. Come as you are or dress up in a grand masquerade style--the choice is up to you!
