October: Halloween Bat Crazy Display

Bats, bats, bats!! Our second Halloween display this years features almost a hundred bats!

I cut out each bat using templates I found online. There are five sizes of bats. I taped the smallest ones up the right side of the display, gradually moving to the larger ones as I got towards the top of the display. I then spread the bats out over the top three shelves and had them "flying" towards the left side of the display.

I then had the bats "fly" off the left side of the display onto the wall.

From there they "flew" to the opening and I used fishing line to have the bats "flying" in the open air next to the display.

October: Halloween Slime Display

It's Halloween time and the library has some awesome displays this year! Our first display is covered in slime! I got this idea from Pinterest, it was easy to make and looks great in person.

I started off by getting a stack of lime green paper. I cut out five different variations of slime and then used those as templates to cut out approx 40 pieces of slime.

For the top three shelves I taped the slime of the inside top of the bookcase along with the outside edge. The bottom four shelves you couldn't see the inside well so I only did the outside.

I made a sign for the display saying "It came from the library." and I made a second sign for our website.
