Library Displays: Football/ Super Bowl 50

I recently started working (Interning actually) at Beulah Public Library in Beulah, ND. I thought displays would be a cool way to show off our collection. Using current events and holidays, I will be putting up weekly/biweekly displays throughout the next few months.  With the Super Bowl coming up, I figured a football display would be a popular beginning. 



I made a pendant template in Powerpoint and printed the pendants on construction paper. After cutting out over 100 dark blue, light blue, orange, black, green, and brown little pendants, I made three strings of pendants (bottom of display). Using more of the light blue and orange pendants and some shortened wooden skewers, I created little flags for an interactive part of the display. Patrons could choose a flag and stick it in their respective football team's jar. 



I chose what I thought to be the best football books to display, using both Adult Nonfiction and Junior Nonfiction. The books I chose were
  1. 100 Greatest Quarterbacks by Ronald Lazenby
  2. SPorts Illustrated Winning Offense by Bud Wilkinson
  3. Sports Illustrated Winning Defense by Bud Wilkinson
  4. Friday Night Lights H.G. Bissenger
  5. Inside the NFL-- AFC North--J by Brian Peterson
  6. Inside the NFL-- North--J by K.C. Kelley
  7. The Denver Broncos--J by Mark Stewart




The Library director recently ordered a few more Junior Nonfiction books about the different football teams, and they should arrive before the Super Bowl. When they do, I will be adding a book on the Carolina Panthers to go along with the book I already have on the Denver Broncos.


Thoughts? Suggestions/creative ideas for displays? Comment and let me know!
