Cardboard Arcade

The teens had a cardboard arcade for the end of summer reading. My family made a giant Labyrinth game for the event. It was very fun to play.

Night of Color

As part of the adult summer reading challenge we had a coloring night. We listened to an Agatha Christie audio book while we colored book mars and coloring pages designed for adults. This was worth 50 points on the challenge for those who attended.

Bookmarks and color pages we had ready

Build a Better World

Summer reading information, activities, and schedules are posted on our bulletin board that you see has you come into the library.

To make it fun we turned it into an "I Spy" game. The boarder is cards from the game Stare Jr. And we have a contest going for a drawing. How many books can you spy on this board?

There are many things to "spy" on this board along with the summer reading information.

For kick-off week we had this awesome poster for patrons to color. We placed it in front of the bulletin board. When it is finished we will hang it on the front of the circulation desk.

Books are like a Tardis...display

The Tardis has been spotted in the library. We used a blue plastic table cloth to over the sides of the bookshelf. Use blue paper for the squares and the rest was printed from the computer to make it look like the Tardis from Dr. Who.

The sign on top of the display. We did this display a few years ago. If you want the graphic for the sign follow this link.

Display is filled with time travel books.

This display has been fun for Dr. Who fans. We even had library patrons that had to take their picture next to it. But we never did see the Doctor.

Book Bites

Book Bites are the smaller sized books in the adult fiction that are high interest-low vocabulary books. (A.K.A. book shots or high/low books).

We wanted to make these books easier for patrons to find. We placed new bookshelf on the end-cap at the beginning of the adult fiction. These books are great for those that English is a second language or they just want something lighter or quicker to read.

I love the new label sticker technical made for the spine of the books.

Tales Old As Time...Retold

 With Beauty and the Beast coming out this month a co-worker asked if we could display all the Beauty and the Beast books. Knowing how quickly they would all get checked out I expanded that idea to Retellings of Fairy Tales.
