Switch Up Your Library Book Displays
Reading is such an important skill and hobby for all ages. Whether you’re looking at library book, display ideas for a public library or a library in an educational facility, altering your displays and décor throughout the year can help to encourage reading.
Creating a themed book display could be extravagant and involve decorations throughout the library. Or, for something less invasive, you could have a dedicated area for your theme. You could use some of our acrylic book displays to showcase the books that fit your theme.

A Ghost Story
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry finne på huden (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel".Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", was published, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner.

In January I started working at a new library. One of the best things about this branch is the amount of display space I have for highlighting our children’s collection. But this also means I’ve been spending a lot of time whipping up posters and scouring the internet for display ideas. To get myself more organized I finally sat down and created a calendar filled with a year’s worth of display ideas.
This calendar reflects both my city (Vancouver) and my country (Canada), so not all the ideas will be applicable to everyone. With that said, sometimes I’m lenient on the “National” marker and included some U.S. special days. I also only listed ideas if I think I have enough material in my collection to fill (and refill) a display that will last at least a week. So unfortunately things like National Donut Day didn’t make the cut. Lastly, I didn’t include generic displays that can be put up anytime of the year.
I’d love to hear
