Mr. Wrobel on The Price is Right!

We wanted to let you know that our own Librarian, Mr. Wrobel will be on The Price is Right (TOMORROW) Tuesday, November 7 on CBS at 11:00 am. He and his wife, Tiffany took their niece, Ellen to California over the summer and went to a taping of the show. He’s not allowed to say much, but did get called to “come on down.”  If you can’t watch it live, make sure you set your DVR! It will be worth watching!!! The back of his shirt says his nickname “guybrarian.”
