I do love this season, and all things Halloween. Here are some pics of how I've decorated the library:
 |
| Main bulletin board, including quote by Edgar Allan Poe Skelton and tarantula are original things I drew, the rest is vintage Halloween decor, clip art, and a library poster. For the light green and brown "grass," I just cut up some construction paper all crazy-like. |
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."
-Edgar Allan Poe
 |
| The cylindrical display cabinet, which I keep unlocked so I can encourage kids to grab books out of it. The raven on top has a tag around its neck that says, "Nevermore." |
 |
| The "Coming Soon" whiteboard, festooned with glowing skulls. (And yes, we DO now have "Blood of Olympus.") |
 |
| Vintage 3D Halloween decorations |
 |
| The green skulls are just clip art printed on colored paper, with orange paper flames, mounted against black paper. |
 |
| I like this poster. It always makes me think of Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes." |
 |
| These are the windows of my horrible little cave of an office. |
Love all of these! I love the idea of a Coming Soon board too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! The Coming Soon board is SO successful with the students. They watch it closely, and ask lots of questions about it, and it generates excitement about upcoming releases. :)
