April: Earth Day Display

April 22nd was Earth Day and the library created two displays to highlight the libraries "Earth Day" inspired books.

The display was really quick to put together. After the last week celebrating National Library Week and all the events we held, there was not much time to put together a huge display. I created two signs for the displays, one for each book case. They are really simple:

I then cut out some clouds, butterflies and snails and decorated the bookcase with them:

That's all there was to it, please feel free to use the signs or template.

February: Celebrate! Freedom, Equality, Diversity, Pride Display (Black History Month)

For Black History Month I created a display called "Celebrate! Freedom, Equality, Diversity and Pride." We had already created a Black History Month Display that focused on biographies and speeches, for this display we used fiction books based on historical events and historical figures. We also used non-fiction books that focused on important figures in African American history.

For the signage I drew a picture of the Africa and then I manipulated  four words (Freedom, equality, diversity and pride) to fit the shape of the continent. I used the same color scheme as our other Black History Month display :red, green, black and yellow.

To make the display more decorative we cut out several stars in the same color scheme and taped them all over the display. Very simple and easy display.
