Football is quite big in my new school community. Before the first game of the season there was a huge tailgating effort called Dawgapalooza (since we're the bulldogs), there's a huge Homecoming parade (that my uber cute 1st grade daughter was a part of), and many of the male students from elementary school to high school participate in the sport. As a librarian, you have to know your patrons, so I thought a big football display to kick off the season would be just the ticket.
A big, glorious display of American football and Football (soccer) books! I also have some lovely framed Sports Illustrated covers to add a little humor to the display.
The soccer season for boys is also in the fall!
Check out this one. Man oh man, sometimes I'm super glad this collection hasn't been updated in years.
Just a few photos of the individual shelves of the three panel display. To come up with the books for the display I just spent some more time in the stacks of our humble library, pulling everything I could find! Easy!
I had lots of fun making a collage sign to go with the display, too. I love to do picture collages, so this was a perfect little extra fun activity I gave myself.
The pick up from the display was constant, and the return was also great. I had a lot of students interested in the books displayed, and they were awesome enough to return them on time, so others could get them. Yippee!!!
*NOTE: This display was up from September 15-October 1 as a beginning of season celebration.
