We’re all familiar with conspiracy theories. From a faked moon landing to wild ideas about JFK’s assassination, theories and believers abound.

At the age of three, Patrick Lubben received his first guitar. “…It wasn’t much of an instrument,” Lubben remembered, “it was kind of a piece of wood with some strings on it. I didn’t know how to play it.” He wouldn’t graduate to a real guitar until the age of nine, and by then he had already added a new instrument to his repertoire: the piano. Now, as a senior in high school, Lubben’s instrumental…

The popularity of books is declining, including libraries, due to the progress of digital media and its ability to hold attention. A school library would be something in decline, something that wouldn’t be as popular now as it was 25 years ago. However, even today the M.
