While optical illusions & weird but true books fly off the shelves, we do actually have other nonfiction books down here. I promise! Here are some 6th graders trying out the origami & drawing books @WindyWhales

[Beth Palasek @bpalaseklms]

Spent some time with 5th & 6th graders rediscovering the 700's section - specifically the origami & drawing books. We have some super crafty kids at Wimdermere! We learned origami can be pretty tricky @WindyWhales

[Beth Palasek @bpalaseklms]

Congratulations to Windermere's Invention Convention winners Abinav & Chaitanya! Both will present their inventions at UConn in the state finals. Way to go! @WindyWhales
