Nerf War Turns Library Into Battlefield of Foam and Fury
By Joshuah Albert
The Dalles, Ore., March 5, 2025 – The silence of the library was shattered.
Pages once meant for quiet study became the backdrop of a warzone. The rules of engagement?
Simple.
Work as a team or go rogue. But in the end, it was every kid for themselves.
The latest event at the local library turned into an all-out Nerf battle, drawing in kids eager to test their strategy and skill. Bookshelves, once symbols of knowledge, became fortresses. Fiction and nonfiction took cover together, shielding warriors from an onslaught of foam fire.
Some fought alongside their families. Others betrayed them for the thrill of victory. Darts ricocheted off the walls, the air thick with the sound of plastic rounds finding their marks. For a moment, it felt like no one was safe—not even the spectators.
One rogue dart came close—too close for comfort. Had it hit its mark, this story might have never been told.
But war—war never changes.
The library event drew a crowd, giving kids a chance to unleash their energy in a controlled environment. No real casualties, no real damage. Just the thrill of battle, the sting of defeat, and the triumph of foam-fueled glory.
For those who survived, the lesson was clear: trust no one, keep your head down, and never underestimate a well-placed shot.
