Library Lovers Month

By Rebecca Thompson

Thanks to Rebecca, from King's College in Pennsylvania, who has shared this great display just in time for Valentine's day! A really good idea to use this time of year to promote anything you want!

Here are her comments:

'I have been enjoying your library display blog since I stumbled across it and thought I would submit the Library Lovers Month/Valentine’s display I put up here at King’s College.

I wanted to highlight a variety of topics as well as some more recent acquisitions (we recently began actively developing our graphic novel collection) as well as give students a chance to share some thoughts with us.

The small colored hearts across the top of the shelving have quotes about the love of libraries. So far we've had 4 books move off this display, the most of any display I've built so far, and had several students leave notes about their love for circulation staff'.

Reading is at the Heart of it all

By Ellen Dutton
Ellen Dutton from Evelyn Grace Academy in London has put reading displays in different classrooms. She has made the theme relevant to the subject and it works really well! Ellen says that they are trying to create a strong reading culture in their school and also show that students who love reading generally do better in all different subjects.

I think it's a really good idea and would like to do a similar thing myself. It is a great opportunity to use display to promote the library, and reading, to subjects that rarely use the library resources.
Thanks for sharing Ellen.
