Library Display: April 2014

Our campus has a huge Earth Day event every year.  It's basically a street fair with a farmer's market, recycling, free food, live music... party!

This year we decided to do our April display to go along with that theme:


You can see what we did there, right?  That shamrock from last month suddenly became a tree!  I brought in some flower pots from home and made "book flowers" with info on them.  And of course we had to have a copy of The Lorax!  Compared to others, this was a really easy one to do.  (Which is a good thing, since April is such a busy month!)  Books on the earth and recycling and gardening and conservation added color and interest to the shelves.


I got a bit whimsical with the dry erase board, but hey - that never costs anything so I can be as creative (or as boring!) as I'd like to be, right?

Finally, we dressed up the front window with a few flower cutouts and some leaves we made for a past display.  (Yes, we keep everything... who knows when you might need it and don't have time to make it again?)
