The Liberty Epsilon Beta Club recently went to the EB spring conference of the year at Lincoln University in Jefferson City. They won several awards that included first place in the photography contest, second place in the quiz bowl and two students from Liberty got elected state officers.

Erin Hill had the idea to take the picture of Alison Burski reading the award winning book The Giver by Lois Lowry that won the photography contest. Hill and Burski stated they enjoy photography and were surprised to win first place.

The two students that were elected state officers were Burski and Jenn Overton. Burski was elected treasurer (manages money) and Overton was elected secretary (responsible for communications). The quiz bowl included 4 of the 10 of the students from Liberty that went to the spring conference. The Liberty students ended up taking second place in the quiz bowl. The quiz bowl was over different books and asking questions about them.

When the Epsilon Beta Club went to their spring conference, they were able to tour Lincoln University and the Missouri State Penitentiary. The Epsilon Beta Club does almost everything involving the library such as they helped organize Tech Week.

If you are interested in joining the Epsilon Beta Club, they have meetings every other Wednesday right after school in the library. The Epsilon Beta Club has about 20 members right now and everyone is eligible to join especially if you enjoy reading and participating in your school library.
