Two artifacts found after six years at Phillips Elementary School by Peggy Bloomfield, librarian at Phillips Elementary School. A scrapbook containing sketches of the libraryâs mural and George Hoveyâs journal.
Students turned into detectives at Phillips Elementary School when they took a 100-year-old journal and tracked down the owner’s family friend.
Peggy Bloomfield, librarian at Phillips Elementary School, found a box while cleaning six years ago containing the old journal. The artifact remained in storage until recently.
“We were reading Encyclopedia Brown. We would read the story and try to solve it and say, what were the clues, and it just kind of hit me one day. We could be detectives,” Bloomfield said.
