Free Comic Book Day

The first Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day in the US. We joined in the celebration. This is the back drop that we made for a photo booth. Original idea came form this link. We are going to save this backdrop for our summer reading program that starts next month. 


Buildings are made from foam. I got to help attach all the little windows.
Super Librarians!
Perfect photo of brother and sister. Don't you think?
We had 300 comics to give away. This is what we had left late into the day.

Get soaked with classic literature

Get soaked with classic literature

Because it rains a lot during the spring month of April I wanted a display that involved rail drops. A coworker and I started talking about how we could make raindrops. We came up with several ideas.  I decided to use 3 of those ideas in the display.

 The first drops are made out of plain blue paper. 
The second drops are made out of old book pages or newspaper. 
And the third type of drop is made out of the left over plastic after I laminated a poster. 
Side view showing the blue and book page drops.

Get soaked with classic literature was the theme of the display so I found
 some classics to fill it with. 
Front of display showing classic books. I tried to have children, teen and adult books involved.

The picture I use was found in Microsoft office. I loved her little red umbrella. 
I just added a book so that it looks like she is holing it.
With the help of the janitor the umbrella was hung from the rafters.

Umbrella is up with clear drops hanging down.
It's raining in the library!
