Thanks to the Boo Crew and our hard working library staff, the 1st annual Maze of Mayhem was scary good fun! People were brave enough to attempt the maze and return their lost library book… well some of us had to use the exit door! Proceeds of $160 were donated to the Arapahoe Public School’s Backpack food program.
