'Tis the Season

Well, the holiday season is in full swing, and our library looks the part.  During our many visits with students, teachers, and classes alike, we were able to eek out some time to prepare our library for the winter months ahead.  Of course, most of our inspiration came from Pinterest. What did librarians do before Pinterest was in place?

Here is our classic book tree with the addition of a book fireplace to keep it company.




Our student aides also made these book trees from weeded books.




The wreath above the fireplace is also a new addition this year.   





Once of our student aides made it by recycling the book pages from some of our weeded books and a few pine cones he found in one of our winter boxes of decorations.

The cute snowmen and penguin came straight from Pinterest and will be staying up during January.



Our paper chains and snowflakes, also made by students, will also continue to stay up in January. That is why we chose blue and white instead of the traditional red and green.



Then there is "Blocky the Snowman."  Our library kids named him...for obvious reasons.




In addition, we have other decorations that we have used year after year.  These were made with an old-fashioned OPAC projector, markers and crayons.







Here is the one I am working on for January.  Pinterest inspired...again!



Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Holidays!
