Library Display: Reading Makes You Bright!

January is finally here! With it comes a new way to connect, communicate and contribute to my professional community. I am the teen and tween services librarian for one of the busiest libraries in the state of Oklahoma, and our library is always bustling!

January is packed full of activities. Origami club is continuing, and our journal art/maker program is coming up the week after. We'll also be trying our hand at a Minute to Win It program and fill out the month with a HUGE movie release event for The Death Cure. I'm a little overwhelmed!

I started the month off by modifying a beautiful display from Literary Hoots. It was a holiday display but everyone likes glitter and lights in the new year, right? It was a great spot for all my bottom-shelf books that are less than two years old but not circulating well.


We have a bit of an odd display space in the teen area, but this sign can be seen from almost all over the library when it's on. Very attention-getting! Although Ms. Emily was right about the glitter; our office may never be the same.

Here's a close-up of the top. I adore bamboo skewers for displaying things in odd spots. They're cheap and help add dimension and interest quickly.


I think if I were going to do this again, I would adjust the proportions slightly (and make sure my letters were straighter!). It was a fun display to make -- I used foam core, cardstock and corrugated cardboard for the big letters.
