The Batesville High School Book Club came to hear Jennifer Paddock at the Mabee-Simpson Library.  We are so glad they were able to make it, and all of us were enthralled by Jennifer's readings and the discussion of her new book: "A Secret Word" that followed.  We hope these wonderful students come back and visit us again sometime.  Who knows?  Maybe they will be students at Lyon someday.  Thank you Ms. Brewer and Ms. Rogers!  Below are photos of the event.

We're havin' so much fun!

Is this a high school student?  Not.  This is Dean Covington, Director of the Mabee-Simpson Library at Lyon College.
