Creepy Woods Display

By Michelle Reid

This creepy display from Michelle should inspire us all as we think about Halloween! 

Here are her comments:

'The inspiration for this display came from a couple of different book blogs. One was on incorporating humor into library displays, and the other was on 10 books featuring creepy towns or creepy forests. “These Woods Give Me the Creeps” includes titles that feature creepy woods – perfect for October as we lead in to Halloween'.

Thank you for sharing Michelle.

Fran used this Peek - a - Boo (k) idea for Halloween by displaying horror books.

Thank you for another great idea Fran - the display looks fab.

Read tales of Horror

By Stephanie Trzeciakiewicz
As Halloween approaches why not take some inspiration from Stephanie's new display?

Stephanie is a Library Media Specialist in Virginia Beach and has done this timely display to highlight the Horror section.
She is in the process of genrifying the fiction section...changing it from alpha by author's last name to grouped by genres. I have never heard of anyone doing this with fiction before, it's certainly something to think about. Stephanie says it's a huge job (I bet!) but says it is already well worth it.

The closest that I have come to this idea is putting together some 'genre boxes' for classes of students to select from (just as a one-off). It's good fun and has introduced another way of looking at the collection.

Good luck with your project Stephanie and thanks for sharing your display.

Heather works at a Catholic boys secondary college of 1400 boys and says that the horror genre is very popular at her school. 'The boys really enjoy the Skulduggery Pleasant series and one of our booksellers gave us the life size cut out of Skulduggery (he is a very popular addition to our library). Other popular titles are the Darren Shan series, Wardstone chronicles, Darkside series, Mortal instruments and the Twilight series. The skeleton strikes many interesting poses. The horror display would be one of the most popular at our college'.



Thanks Heather, love the display and it is certainly worth befriending your local bookseller, the Skulduggery cut out is great!
