Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so few Thanksgiving books, that I decided to go with children's cookbooks instead.

Displays update

The obligatory Summertime display

We have very few teen biographies, so on one hand, I don't want these to circulate or the display will be bare, on the other hand that would defeat the purpose of promoting the collection.

These Legos have been a real hit.  I was worried that people would touch them (they are very delicate) but people behaved themselves and they stayed intact.  They are moving to Central next.

Some of the recent storytime crafts.  They really dress up the bare walls and serve as a great way to promote storytime. 

Mr. Clown liked the circus storytime.

Getting behind on posting displays

The children's area is showing signs of Spring.

As part of the reading program, teens are encouraged to put sticky notes on books before they return them so others can see what they thought.  Only I have been participating in this activity so far.

January 2014 Displays

Barbara Park, author of the wildly popular Junie B. Jones series died a few months ago, so I thought it appropriate to do a tribute.  The photo in the center is the author surrounded by facts about her.  Not sure how many folks read the facts, but the books moved like crazy.

Obligatory March MLK display - I printed out one of his speeches (which someone actually asked for a copy of) and the books were all connected by multi-colored people cutouts holding hands.

February displays

Some time in February is Fairy Tale Day....I think we'll display it for a whole month.
