Bet you didn't know being a librarian involved wearing cowboy hats and fake moustaches, and pretending to be suave, rugby coaches that MAYBE murdered someone....

Anyway, you should come to our murder mystery, Death at the Craft Creatorium. Link in the comments for more details!

Can you tell our library staff love dressing up?

Humour our shenanigans and join us at Te Aroha Library for Death at the Craft Creatorium - an interactive murder-mystery experience where you'll figure out whether or not Winona Cases here was responsible for the untimely death of Tracey Rounder (or if she's just guilty of terrible lipstick choices). We promise more shockingly dressed librarians!
