Here’s the display that greeted students on their first day of school. It featured my school sweatshirt (on a half a dress form) packing an overflowing book bag. The contents of the bag are spilling out into the display case – textbooks, library books, and various school supplies.

Nothing really library-specific here, just a fun general display since this see-through case is just steps from the front door of the school.

Here’s a couple of closeups. I just covered some library books with white paper and printed out English, Math and Science to make generic textbooks and threw in a couple popular library books along with supplies.

OK, school’s open – here we go!

Updated 2016:  Same props, different school!  I was going to use real pencils to spell out “Back to the Books” on the sign, but die cut pencils were much easier!
