I’m in love with this snowman, mostly created by our student aide who spent a few class periods pasting discarded book pages to create the head and body. The poster was quick to make, and is available as a freebie on Teachers Pay Teachers for anyone who is interested. Continue reading Snow Many Books!
Quick table displays are one of my new favorite things! They take mere minutes to put up, and are easy to swap out on a regular basis. I like to tap into current events in the news or events on our campus for ideas. The most recent idea? Oxford’s 2024 Word of the Year: brain rot. (Technically a phrase, I know…) I took the opportunity … Continue reading Oxford Word of the Year: Brain Rot
Inspire your students to read like a champion! Olympic rings made out of blue, yellow, black, green, and red book jackets are displayed with Olympic-themed book titles. I also made a poster using the book-themed Olympic rings, available as a free high-quality download here. Continue reading Olympic Readers
Yes, we have a Banned Books Week display too… but we are having a little fun with this table off to the side. It’s getting an equal amount of eyerolls as chuckles… which is the sign of a good pun, right? Sign is available here: Continue reading Band Books Week

The giant ribbon calls attention to the books, and I posted pictures on our library’s Facebook and Instagram accounts encouraging students to check out a copy before winter break. This makes a great display … Continue reading Best of 2016

We are grateful to have the VariQuest Cutout Maker 1800 in our workroom. It’s a computerized system that die cuts shapes and letters from a whole internal catalog of choices. It’s oh so sweet. Since it can take any kind of paper … Continue reading Signs of the Times
Since I last posted on this blog, I have moved to a new school and a new library. I left a beautiful, newly-built school library with great display areas, huge windows and light, new furniture and a big-budget book collection. This new library is shared by a high school and middle school- it bridges the two schools together, but is located down a long hallway between the two … Continue reading A New Beginning
