October Stuff

It's Library Card Sign up Month.  We put together this gift basket for a drawing.

This Banned Book Week display was kinda cool...a description of why the books was banned was on top, and when you lifted the flap, it showed you the cover of the book.  There were about 20 of them scattered around the library.


  

Check out a book with and orange or black cover
and get your reading card stamped!

Jackie Collins passed away this month.
We featured her books at one of the checkout stations.

We celebrated the birthday of Stephen King
by featuring his audiobooks.
And in the children's area, we all got Goosebumps.  R. L. Stine has a movie coming out this week, so I posted all kinds of facts about him and his books.
The display case is full of cake decorating paraphernalia.
These items circulated better than I thought they would.

We started the "You've Been Boo'd!" baskets .  We send goodies to two branches, who in turn, send goodies to two branches, etc.... We decorated Jello, pudding, and mandarin orange cups and made tissue/sucker ghosts.  We drew pumpkin faces on small oranges.
I don't think it's been done like this before... I hope our recipients enjoy them!


Also, Miss Rita is a cat.
