I've known since the beginning of the year that I would do a food display for the Thanksgiving season. I had fun just roaming around our collection pulling books that had to do with food: I pulled fiction, graphic novels, memoirs, and non-fiction. I couldn't fit all of the cookbooks we have, so I tried to put a good variety. Praise be to the heavens that the Uni Collection does have what I think is my most favorite food book of all time: The Gallery of Regrettable Food. When I worked at Pages for All Ages, we used to pour over this book at the Info Desk. It is one of my all-time ultimate favorites.
I also made some signage for the display, encouraging students to ask for help if they need to find more food books or want to search for them at one of the public libraries. I had to use a still from Oliver for this...of course. This is also how I got a photo of Jamie Oliver included.
The Neil Gaiman display also turned out well and included signage. Since he's the author of the month, I included info about him: vital stats, his work, his social media sites, etc. It was great fun collecting his books for the display, but a lot of his books are checked out--no shocker there.
He's one of the biggest advocates for libraries, and for some great personal stories he has about libraries and being a book nerd, check out these links:
