Spotlight on: Hey girl, check out this young adult display!

Hey girl, I'm sure you've seen the awesome internet meme featuring Ryan Gosling in several scenarios where he says Hey girl, followed by something you wouldn't expect out of his mouth (but have always dreamed you'd hear should you ever meet him).


Well our FABULOUS Young Adult librarian, Michelle, has created a brand new display upstairs using some that were already created that spotlight young adult books. She has also created some of her own in order to match some of the books she picked for said display. When I saw it I had to start a slow clap. No one joined in and it was slightly awkward but I like to think it made her day.

Here are some pictures so you can enjoy this truly delicious setup.

Hey girl, I know you'll spot all the pictures of me because of your keen Nancy Drew like observation skills

Hey girl, Our love story is better than Cupid and Psyche.

One more. Just because I can.

Love is in the air and on the window display!

I wanted to come up with a window display that could be used for two different displays. I usually have to put a lot of time into the items that go on the window and with a hectic schedule this semester I needed to make it easy on myself.

Through inspiration on pinterest, I came up with the following:

The clouds and hearts are 3D.I found a picture of the girl under the umbrella online and printed it on a transparency. It was easy to trace and add color.

The hearts will be changed after Valentine's day to raindrops and the books will be changed to fit a  theme of April Showers bring Bluebonnet flowers. I will dsiplay books from the Texas Bluebonnet list.

Halloween Bulletin Window

My sanctioned area to decorate in the library as the newbie is the children's workroom window. I had a lot of fun putting up my first display and was definitely ready for more creativity.

I had previously purchased the monsters peeking through the window from target with other halloween items that were on clearance. They were too big for my windows at home but perfect for the library! With a little bit of scary green garland and some cut out letters stating "Scare up a good BOOK!" I wasin business. I cut out some pumpkins for the bottom to display different halloween books we had available and added some bats from a discarded bulletin border to add a little something extra. I bet the monsters peeking could be replicated using butcher paper and poster board if you aren't able to find something close to these.
