A couple of things to get out of the way:
Because Oberlin is a small public library, we try to only use non-fiction books in our display. We don't have enough copies of fiction books to sacrifice some to a display.
There are 3 display cases that need updating. One display I kept basically the same, so we'll skip that one for this first blog
Now, onto the displays themselves! The display back by the Owen room looked like this originally:
I took all of the summer reading stuff from this display and added it to the display I wasn't really updating. So one display is focused on summer reading, while the other displays are focused on summer books.
The above display I changed to "Books are Fun in the Sun!" theme
The large display over by the computers looked like this originally:
I updated it to the "Swimmingly good summer reads" theme:
While actually putting the displays together I severly underestimated the amount of work required. Since this was my first try at displays it was pretty simple. Next month I'll try for a more complicated "back to school" theme. Any suggestions, comments, idea's are always welcome.
