Halloween 2008

The Vera Bracken Library's Halloween theme this year was Monsters of Rock. The library staff, as usual, was dressed up and ready to go. Decorations included a fog machine at the entrance, a light show courtesy of the college's theatre at one end of the Information Desk and Guitar Hero was playable on a large screen at the other end.

At the end of the day, a good time was had by both staff and students. We would like to congratulate Shayla Paxman for winning our Guitar Hero World Tour for Nintendo Wii prize draw.
