 The Library: More Exciting than a Zombie Attack.The staff at McPherson College's Miller Library came up with this amazing Library of the Living Dead Library Guide. Ms. Brinks totally wishes she thought of this first. Yes, the guide is specific to a library that is not the Fulton High library, but there is a ton of information in it that you can use. Plus, it is completely gory while being totally informative, which is awesome.
