Read me, Maybe

It is always fun to use lyrics from a song in a display. Lilly (one of Henkes characters) was on an old poster that had a date. I simply cut her out and added her to the board.

Adding a little interaction by letting patrons take call number suggestions.Strips of paper with a little shading look like books on a shelf.

Titles with their call numbers for nonfiction books are listed so that patrons can tear them off and then go find them in the library.

Books are like a box of chocolates...

Every February we do a display called "blind date with a book." I wrap the books so that you cannot see what the books is. This year I decided to change it up a bit.
Books are like a box of chocolates.... You never know What you're going to get. 

This is our 3rd annual blind date with a book display.

I love the little wrapped books
Each book is wrapped in fun paper (like a book cover) with the  barcode showing on back along with a label stating what type of book it is (mystery, romance, child's book, fantasy, etc.).
