With the “Dig Into Reading” theme we really wanted to have fun with decorating our windows. So we wanted to play with some tunnels and dirt. And Mo Willem’s Naked Mole Rats. First we put up some “dirt” on the windows. Then some purple tunnels (because brown on brown wouldn’t be very easy to see…
My co-workers are great. They all get into the spirit of decorating for the summer reading program. Here is what one of my brilliant co-workers did to decorate the Information Desk. She made a huge tunnel (thanks for the idea, Marketing Team!) and put our “Dig Into Reading” banner in the middle of it. Then…
So I knew we were going to do Dinosaur Teams for summer reading. But the trick was to figure out how to showcase what teams had read what amount. Mostly this is because we don’t have an bulletin board or big display area. But I think we finally figured out what we are going to…
The summer reading program started today. And now that things are a little less crazy, I can hopefully show you some of what we have been doing lately. I made a dinosaur out of cardboard! And it is sitting on top of our picture book shelves. So I started out with this template. And this…

Enjoy me mates! This is where the pirates throw all their prisoners. This one is a pirate’s sword with…
Did I mention how much I love the creativity of my coworkers? One of them did this great window display in our teen area recently. Basically it shows some of the books that people “liked” from the teen shelves. I like how it plays on the fact that online you “like” a lot of things…
Once again I am excited to share what one of my coworkers has come up with. This is the kids’ area window display that was put up in March. (And there will be an addition that will be added for April….which I will show later). It is a giant rainbow…which all the kids have LOVED.…
