#Library display

One of the librarians has been sneakily removing books from the snowman to make it slowly melt over the last couple months, and he’s finally gone. I only got a couple pictures of the process, but the later stages are hilarious

Happy Pride from our Merrillville Branch! We've packed this display with movies, documentaries, graphic novels, fiction, and nonfiction.

It's proven popular so far - I took this photo before we opened and by the afternoon there were already a lot of gaps. We love to see it 🌈

If something you want to read is checked out, do place a hold on it! The more holds, the more copies we buy :) (And I will be snagging that Out and Proud in Chicago book for myself momentarily.)

Alright so I work at a library in a red county in California and since Trump’s inauguration and specifically seeing the executive orders he passed, and then his little butt-buddy Elon throwing a FULL sieg heil salute, I have been feeling desperate to help fix this. Obviously I’m just one person, I can’t do much, but I can’t just do *nothing*, and I haven’t found anything near me for any direct action so I did this.

I’ve been seeing book recommendations float around on here and TikTok and I felt like it was a good idea to make a display of them in case anyone comes into the library feeling helpless and scared because of what is happening in our country.

It’s not an exhaustive list, it was only what we had catalogued and in the main branch BUT I think it’s pretty good.

They don't appreciate me enough at work

Sumer Reading Challenge ready!

I had a lot of help from our head librarian and her daughter with this one, and i think it turned out beautiful. 💖 The little characters scattered around 'Honey, I shrunk the Kids' style make me so happy. The blue sequin-covered bug in the middle is a favorite of mine made by my boss's daughter 😻

This is made almost entirely from recycled materials

I made a Mr Cupcake for our library's Halloween display! Better keep your eyes on him...

My Halloween display is actually a secret Sabrina Carpenter display

For an additional display, you could also do non-pride displays in rainbow colors. A display without a content theme, just based around making a rainbow out of covers. Or a theme and covers (such as a romance display, since many of those have brightly-colored covers you could easily make a rainbow out of). Children's display about books on colors/with colors in the title. Et cetera, et cetera.

Not to replace a pride display, but aesthetically it could work well (particularly in June) and might bleed some attention away from angry targets. Heck, if you think it works for your situation, you could even start with rainbow displays and add a pride display (or add physical items to a pride display) a few days to a week later.

SO👏 I work in a library and every year we strive to do pride displays, but theres a certain group of assholes who will check out the majority of our queer non fic for the soul purpose of gatekeeping that information from the public.

SO I WAS WONDERING if any of you lovely internet people had online resource suggestions, or potentially any pdf booklets full of queer information I could print out?

This one's not a book rec, but we wanted to take a second to brag on our Highland Branch janitor, Lynne. She makes these cake sculptures out of brick and asphalt!

These are on display right now at Highland Branch - if you're in the area, stop by for a closer look (but please don't taste!)

I like making displays at work. This one in the YA section is for books like Hunger Games with lots of competition and fighting.

It was time to change the endcap display, so I saw my chance and I took it
