The library can be a crazy place. Overdue books, people speaking too loudly, and of course straight up sabotage! That’s what one poor girl was dealing with after she naively forgot to log out of her Google Docs and left her essay open at her local library. Rookie move, sweetheart. Good thing you’re 12-years-old, you have time to grow and learn from this, young ones. I’ll let librarian, author, and detective extraordinaire Jennifer Lacopelli give you the play by play on this exhilarating library crime mystery.
Victory of the day, settle in folks: Student comes to the library this morning in tears. She's grounded. Her mom took away her phone.

She says that someone "hacked" her English paper and wrote very inappropriate things in it. When she and her mom sat down to work on it last

The damn cloud! Back in my day , e would just hand our teacher our papers to avoid such a fiasco from occurring. Technology wrongs us again. I would very much like to find out what they consider “very inappropriate.” Super curious what was written in this essay to cause such an uproar.
night, her mom saw it and FREAKED on her (rightly so IMO). The student is 12 and if my 12yo had written this it would have been DEATH.

Death sentence? Was this most inappropriate essay there ever was? Must have been.
However, student INSISTS that she didn't write it. So I go into her Google Doc account and see that the changes were made at 2:16pm.

Student says, "I was on the bus then!" So I pull up the camera security footage we have in the library computer lab for 2:16pm.

So the plot thickens! Something fishy is going on in this library and our ace Librarian/Detective is all over it.
