Book Stacking Contest!

Students knocking over stack of books

The Library's annual Book Stacking Contest for Middle School students was again a great success--see the video on Overlake's Facebook page for proof! Students were challenged to see how fast they could stack two boxes' worth of books into a free-standing, non-wobbling stack. Of course, their favorite part is then knocking it over!
