There’s a school for that! #librarydisplay
When reading a new book about a secret school within a school (The Misfits by Lisa Yee), my assistant and I realized how many books about schools for secret abilities are out there.

Island Getaway
It’s the “Blah” time of winter here, late January/early February and just thinking about a relaxing day under a palm tree brings a moment of joy. So we created a place for that with books about islands on the display. The day we set it up, students were posing in the chair. Hopefully, this trend will continue.…

Something DRAGON you down? #librarydisplay
I got this pun and idea from a Facebook group for Library Displays. When I have a big emotion (anger, worry, etc.), it helps if I make something. So, I made this dragon. I was just thinking about it and mentioned to a few students, “I’m thinking of making a dragon”. They immediately got up…

In the Facebook group for Library displays and Bulletin Boards, this is a hot topic, so I actually watched the Netflix Series “Wednesday” to know what kind of books to put on this display. The kids at my school are appreciating the relevance of this display. I made the stained glass window with with paper,…
