Book Snowman

By Sharon Spong

Sharon, from Bedford Girl's School in UK has sent a photo of this wonderful snowman made from books! He looks right at home in the library, guarding some 'cool reads'! Thanks Sharon and Caroline for sharing your display.

There's SNOW place like the library!

By Fran Karmann

Lovely seasonal displays of polar bears, snow flakes and the book tree are Fran's winter way of welcoming readers!!!

Hibernate with a good book.

There's SNOW place like the library.

There's SNOW thing like reading.

Thanks for sharing Fran.

Winter reading is snow much fun!

By Carolynn DeVries

Here is a fun idea for winter, I love the pun and the final display is very dramatic and really captures the eye. Thanks and well done Carolynn!

Here are Carolynn's comments:

'I just found your website on Pinterest, I love it! I think it's great that we have a place where we can share our ideas with others. I am the main person who puts together the displays in our library branch, so I am constantly accessing ideas from the internet and Pinterest. Occasionally, I will have an original idea, this is always exciting for me! I had this idea to make a huge snowflake on the wall using books covers as the "spokes" of the snowflake. So I laid it out on the floor by my desk to see how it would look, and realized I would need to add some white strips of paper to make it feel more "snowflake like". Then I decided to use the idea that we had been using for awhile with a clothesline for the words in my display because it would be easy to change out'.

No two are ever the same!

By Stephanie Trzeciakiewicz
Here's a very creative idea for a winter display from Stephanie.

She has done a play on the idea that no two snowflakes are ever alike, just like no two books are ever the same. 

Lovely. (PS I love this John Green book - a 'four tissue' read)

Melt away with a good book

By Callum Tims
Callum is a student librarian and it is especially nice to be able to share his fantastic display!
This display is part review board and part Christmas craft board.
Thanks & well done Callum!

Slide into Winter .. Read a Good Book!

By Andrea Garcia
Despite the glare on the glass cabinet you can clearly see the fun these penguin bookworms are having tumbling down their snow-covered slope! I'm sure they will inspire the children to take a few books home for the holidays - the penguins at the bottom of the display are offering some excellent suggestions!
Thanks Andrea and have a lovely holiday!

Warm up your holidays with these Romance titles..

By Sherry Cortes
Light the fire and snuggle down with a good romance! That's the invitation from Sherry!
This is what she says:
'Hello from the United States! My name is Sherry Cortes, and I am the reference librarian at Savannah Technical College, a small technical school in Savannah, Georgia. We don’t have much room for displays, but I work with what we do have and try to make each month a different theme. This month is a romance for the holidays, with romance books—we had gotten in a shipment of Zane books which inspired the display, but those were checked out before I had a chance to even put them up, so I found other romance novels on our shelves.
It keeps things interesting here to have a little display, and there has definitely been an increase in book checkouts since I started doing this'.

Thanks for sharing this inviting display Sherry - have a wonderful Christmas!

The Very Snowy Day

By Krystal Morgan
Krystal does all the displays at the Victorvilly City Library in Victorville, and she has been kind enough to share some with us.
This is a display where she recreated a scene from Ezra Jack Keats' "The Very Snowy Day"
It's a lovely one to celebrate winter with! Thanks Krystal.

The Snowy Day

By Kelly Butcher
This lovely display by Kelly was inspired by the art in the book. She then used the display to place all of her snow books.

Have a peep at her Library Blog:Lemme Library

Let it Snow

By Kateri Wilson
Kateri and her students have approached the worst weather in the UK for over forty years very creatively by producing their very own library snowstorm!
She used it for her Christmas display so the books are festive reads.
Thanks for sharing it and we hope it's warming up over there now!

Winter

By Judith Dickson
Judith is a Teacher Librarian at Weber Elementary, in Iowa City, Iowa.
She has shared these delightful pictures of her winter library display and says:

'One way to create a nice winter feel in the Media Center is to have Gingerbread Libraries on display. This week, we had 30 5th/6th grade student helpers come in for the special project of constructing them! They had a ball and ate lots of candy while designing them! The new book table certainly attracts attention with 15 Gingerbread Libraries of varying sizes nestled amongst the books!'

A very timely display as many of you in the Northern hemisphere battle (and enjoy?) the snow. It's a wonderfully creative and yummy way to get the students involved and I can see that it would attract plenty of attention! Well done and thanks Judith.
