Kelly's Displays

Kelly, our head of circ, is in charge of the free standing displays here at the library.  She really goes out of her way to make them something special.  A few weeks ago she created this display to highlight the fact that OPL would be at the Lorain County Fair.

There were books about cows, pigs, horses, farms, and so much more!!  Just when I thought her displays couldn't get any more amazing, I came in to work and found this masterpiece:

She's set the standard for her displays impossibly high.  I don't know how Kelly's going to top herself with the next display, but I'm excited to find out!!

August 2014 Displays

The first display case, for August, held a marvelous piece of art called (Un)natural Order by local artist Karen Lyle Reynolds.

Ms. Reynolds left an Art Companion Guide to go along with her picture.

For the small display, we're celebrating August as National Picnic Month!  It was too long to get the display in one picture so here's the top of the display

And the bottom of the long display

For our Owen Room display, we are celebrating National Vesuvius Day (August 24):


Please note the four foot Volcano in the background that I printed out, colored and taped together.  It is my masterpiece!
