"Cold Case Files" Immersive Program Now at Thomas Balch Library
The program is available at the Library through December 3.
Leesburg, VA (November 9, 2026) – Thomas Balch Library invites teens and adults to become detectives with the immersive “Cold Case Files.”
Originally developed by Loudoun County Public Library teen librarians Emily Valdez and Austin Ferraro, this crime-solving experience is inspired by the mystery elements of Holly Jackson's “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.” The hands-on activity challenges participants to exercise their research skills by examining evidence, reviewing interviews, and piecing together clues to solve a fictional cold case. The case is fully designed to stand on its own. Knowledge of the book is helpful but not required. The experience typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and may be completed solo or with friends.
The program is available through December 3. The Cold Case box can be requested at the reference desk at Thomas Balch Library (208 West Market Street) during normal business hours: Monday and Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Wednesday from 2 to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
For more information, call 703-737-7195 or email balchlib@leesburgva.gov.
