Thankful Cornucopia Display

My first display idea was interactive. I wanted to do a cornucopia, but allow patrons to participate by telling us for what they are thankful. This one is mostly for the parents--we don't often have kids requesting to do it if they haven't been prodded first.

I wanted to get some shapes completed before putting the actual display up, so I had staff fill some out. Patrons weren't really interested until the display actually went up. But as it gets closer to Thanksgiving, we have more and more people who want to fill out a shape! Now it's fleshed out pretty nicely and looks very festive.

It's growing steadily. I may add another picture in a few weeks.

As you can see, it was a great success:

The Calendar!

So, my desk is right behind this window looking out into the youth area. The board books are directly below said window.

Basically, it's creepy. People just look at me while I'm on break or doing work. I didn't like it. So I needed a permanent-ish display to put up.

Hence, the calendar. I update this monthly to reflect, you know, the calendar. I have pretty much gotten all my holidays from Chase's Calendar of Events, which is working out great. The kids love to look at it (though they are upset when the day doesn't have a holiday). I also added book titles to correspond to the holidays to make it more library-centric.
