March Book Madness at HermesLocura de libros de marzo en Hermes

Hermes students and staff participated in a thrilling round of March Book Madness at Hermes the past two weeks!  Books set off, head-to-head, in an epic battle each day.  Classes read each book and then voted on their favorites.  Our battle followed the classic set-up of NCAA basketball games with the following rounds:
