I have been working with a student for the past 2 weeks to put up our first student run book display. Hunter checked out the most books during the 4th six weeks; so I decided to start with him. He curated a list of his top 10 book favorites from our library. We pulled the books and created a display. Hunter then went into Canva to create his own sign for the display.
Yesterday I sent out the book display concept in my "Library Tip Tuesday" email that goes out to the staff twice a month. In the email, I asked for recommendations of students who liked to read and might want to do their own book display. To my surprise, I was given 4 names within 30 minutes of my email. I was surprised because one often wonders how many people actually read your emails. So happy that at least a few do. I know I can put one of those obnoxious "read notice" on the email, but I'm not going to do that.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program . . . Hunter arranged the books, and I printed out his Canva sign. He asked to put library/read stickers on his table. Since I have about a billion of those, I let him go through my stickers to find the ones he wanted out on his table. Now we just need to see what kind of foot traffic the display gets. I am hoping to swap it out twice every 6 weeks. I think the table turned out great, and Hunter is especially proud of it.
