Summer Reading Club Displays

My goal was to make the displays as interactive as possible. Thank goodness for Pinterest-about an hour trolling there gave me all the inspiration I needed. The rest was all about image finding, font decisions, and cutting things out (because I’m so not an artist, though I did draw the burst). Showing before and afters for the interactive displays.

Who is Your Hero?

Superhero Height Post

Blue side: they measure their own height and write down what their super power is. Hard to see, but at least 100 names on that post!

Red sides: feature heights of well-known, and some lesser known, heroes so kids can see if they are as tall as a superhero! Kudos to my coworker for suggesting a Smurf-we can measure height in apples, too!

  

City Skyline in the Window: Every kids who completed the summer reading program got to put their name in a building window. They LOVED this. Maybe more than the goody bag. Kudos to another coworker for securing this backdrop.

April Display: Poet-tree!

For National Poetry Month I put up this interactive display using brown packaging from shipments to the library and green paper leaves. I posted a few “how to” information sheets for haiku, acrostic, and rhyme. Patrons were invited to write a poem on a green leaf OR write the name of their favorite poet or poem on a leaf and give the leaf to a staff person to hang up. The tree was fairly bare most of April, but once we got a few up there, more and more have been trickling in. Poetry books are displayed below the tree.

How did you celebrate April?
