Library Display: March 2014

We went all St. Patrick's Day this year, and picked up some cheap decorations at the party store (because you can never have enough glittery shamrocks, am-I-right?


We also bought rolls of crepe streamers to make the rainbow.  It was a little tricky making them line up, but it added a cool effect down to the pot of gold (black poster board and a printout of a pile of gold coins taped to the top!)  We made the big shamrock with bulletin board paper.

The books were all about the Irish - histories, authors, anything we could remotely tie in.

Then we did the front window with eBooks:


(and more glittery shamrocks!)

Finally, the most difficult part of the whole thing was the dry erase board.  

Nope, the lettering is not a stencil.  It's all done freehand.  I actually cleaned up the knot a bit after I took the pic because some of the lines didn't meet up right.  (Me, OCD?  Not on your life, she said, straightening the pencils in the cup holder.)
