Wednesday and Thursday – Library Trivia Quiz

The inaugural Library Trivia Quiz begins this year.  It runs over the course of two lunchtimes with great prizes for the winners and runners up.  In addition, the winning team will have their name immortalized on the Library Trivia Cup Trophy.

The word "trophy" is derived from the Greek tropaion, which comes from the verb trope, meaning "to rout."  Since ancient times trophies have marked victories as they are a commemorative reminder of achievement and merit.
