How? Follow the map and find the clues. For each clue you find, a librarian will stamp your map. After you find all the clues and collect all the stamps you can turn in your completed map for a prize drawing entry. We will draw for prizes after eating pizza, to keep our strength up. Students must be present at the prize drawing to win.

The Pot Thief

by Maureen Puffer-Rothenberg on August 14, 2009 in Odum Library

In J. Michael Orenduff’s first Pot Thief mystery, The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras {BROWSE PS 3615 .R466 P68 2009}, Albuquerque treasure hunter Hubie Schuze is offered $25,000 to steal a rare water jug from a museum– and soon becomes the prime suspect in a similar theft and a related murder.

“In addition to selling traditional Native American pottery, I’m also a pot thief. I don’t like the term, and I don’t think it’s a fair description, but that’s what I am. At least that’s what I’ve been since 1980 when Congress passed the Archaeological Resources Protection Act extending the definition of thievery to cover buried pots on public lands—and who knows more about thievery than Congress?”
