January 2014- Edgar Allan Poe and Sherlock Holmes Birthdays Book Display

Hello,

Edgar Allan Poe and Sherlock Holmes share January birthdays.

This year there was a book display that showed off the literary impact that Poe and Holmes has on young adult novels.  In addition, birthday cards were made to celebrate these two iconic literary figures.

September 2013 Book Display- International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Hello,

International Talk Like A Pirate Day was on September 19th in 2013.

There was a book display that showed off swashbuckling young adult books set on the high seas.  In addition, I created a poster promoting the how to speak pirate option on the language database accessible through the library.

Hello,

With the popularity of the mustache it seemed like the perfect time to have a book display where books got to participate in the trend.

This was a fun and silly book display for all to enjoy.
