One of my most successful displays went with my theme three years ago. The= theme was "Walk Into the Library and Reach for the World." I had Ellison die cuts of hand and feet= prints. The foot prints 'walked' around the library, even on the ceiling a bit. The 'hands' held my posters, and book= covers that were displayed. I selected book covers for the display that showed different cultures (including the= USA) On the ceiling I even put a poster of the moon's surface and had some of the foot prints walking towards that. = Then I went to our local thrift store and purchased some toddler size shoes, stuffed the toes with paper (so the= pencils won't slip down) and set them around the library as pencil holders. I can't tell you how many students= and teachers noticed the shoes/pencil holders especially and asked about them, I used the opportunity to point out= my theme. Well I was planning on re-donating the shoes at the end of that school year, BUT, they continue to= be so popular, I am still using them and the teachers and kids still comment on them, the teachers will ask me again= what the theme was that they went with.
