Easter Display

It feels a little early to be putting up an Easter display, but Easter comes early this year, and Beulah Public Library is closed the weekend before starting Friday the 25th. This display will be up for roughly two weeks, which I think is appropriate.

Since there are already plenty of Easter books on display around the stacks, I decided to take the Easter-themed title "Reading with my 'Peeps!'" and use it for a Young Adult Fiction display.

 I found the book covers online and printed them out, making sure all of them had a description on the back.

I used seven books for this display:

• Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children--Ransom Riggs
• Losers Take All--David Klass
• A Wrinkle in Time--Madeleine L'Engle
• Gossamer--Lois Lowry
• Stormbreaker (Alex Rider)--Anthony Horowitz
• All Things Hidden--Heather Gudenkauf
• The Book Thief--Markus Zusak
• The Book Thief isn't actually in our Youth Fiction collection. We shelve it in our main collection. However, it is also considered a Young Adult Fiction book, so I added it. 

READERS: Do you have an idea for a book display? I'm looking for new ideas to show off the collection. I also appreciate any ideas for improving each display. Is there anything more I could do to make the displays any better? Let me know in the comments because any ideas would be appreciated! 

March Display: Women's History Month

I was going to put up a St. Patrick's day display, but there are already a few St. Patrick's Day books on display around the library. I decided instead to dedicate the whole month to Women's History, since it is Women's History Month and we have quite a few books in that area. I chose 11 books, both adult and Junior for this display. There were many from which to choose, so I chose the few I thought would stand out:

• Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl
• Lakota Women: Mary Crow Dog
• First of All--Significant "Firsts" of American Women: Joan McCullough
• Helen and Teacher: Joseph P. Lash
• The 100 Most Influential Women of all Time: Deborah G. Felder
• The Queen-- Life of Elizabeth II: Elizabeth Langford
• Louisa May Alcott: Carol Green (J)
• Mythmaker-- The Story of J.K. Rowling (J)
• Marie Curie: Sean M. Grady (J)
• Susan B. Anthony: Brenda Stalcup (Editor) (J)
• You Want Women to Vote, Lizzie Stanton? : Jean Fritz (J)

This Month's display also features some quotes by famous historical women. Here are two of my favorites:

"Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood." -Marie Curie
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt.

The Women's History Month display will be up until around the 18th, after which the rest of March will be dedicated to Easter. After Easter, Spring! And did you know that April is National Poetry Month?
