Come play find the library!

We're not hiding on purpose! There is a construction project currently going on at MSCTC Moorhead and entry is not permitted through door S2 and we are cut off physically from the west half of the building. To get to the library, enter through door S3 by the southeast corner of the building.
We apologize for any inconvenience!
Hopefully the construction project will be wrapped up next week sometime.
We appreciate your patience!
Thank you!

Remember Magic Eye Books?

Do you remember the Magic Eye books that were really popular in the 1990s? They had the pictures in them that sometimes looked like TV static but if you stared long enough, a 3-D image would appear. I used to wonder how these images were created. At the Magic Eye website, all of the mysteries are explained! Plus they have images you can look at online. See if you still have what it takes to stare down these pictures to see the 3-D image!
