One of my most successful displays went with my theme three years ago. The=
theme was "Walk Into the
Library and Reach for the World." I had Ellison die cuts of hand and feet=
prints. The foot prints 'walked' around the
library, even on the ceiling a bit. The 'hands' held my posters, and book=
covers that were displayed. I selected
book covers for the display that showed different cultures (including the=
USA) On the ceiling I even put a poster of
the moon's surface and had some of the foot prints walking towards that. =
Then I went to our local thrift store and
purchased some toddler size shoes, stuffed the toes with paper (so the=
pencils won't slip down) and set them
around the library as pencil holders. I can't tell you how many students=
and teachers noticed the shoes/pencil
holders especially and asked about them, I used the opportunity to point out=
my theme. Well I was planning on
re-donating the shoes at the end of that school year, BUT, they continue to=
be so popular, I am still using them and
the teachers and kids still comment on them, the teachers will ask me again=
what the theme was that they went with.
