I had a fun idea that I'm going to be putting up on my bulletin board
today. I took pictures of as many staff as possible reading a book.
The book is held up high enough so that it covers their face and
identity. The students will use the title of the book to help them
guess. We're a small school so this works well. Not sure if it would
be too difficult in a larger school. But the staff were very
enthusiastic about getting their pictures taken.

Wendy,
Check the lm_net archives for previous threads about bulletin boards. I
think you'll find some helpful information. I have a book called Off
the
Wall by Gayle Skaggs (isbn 0786401168). It would be perfect for
elementary libraries. I have to adapt it a bit for the high school. For
example, my March bulletin board says "It takes more than just good luck
to make good grades. Use your library!" I have a green background and
shamrocks. I also have a special display of books by Irish authors,
info
about the authors, and a Irish literature trivia worksheet that I found
online. It won't be as overwhelming as you might imagine. You can
always
use library or reading quotes as a basis for your board each month.
There
are lots of hits in the archive with quotes. I also think that the
calendar posts each month on LM-Net, February is...March is.... would be
a
great source of ideas. Or you could feature a different staff member
(make your own READ poster) and their favorite quotes about reading,
favorite books through the years, current book they are reading, what
they
like best about reading, their favorite genre and build a genre board
around it, etc. The movie Hoot will be released in April. You might
still
be able to get a free poster from Walden Media.
(http://www.walden.com/web/teach/home ) You could do an eco-themed
board
around the movie & book. Also, with spring break around the corner for
many of us, you could do a vacation reading suggestion list. Good luck
and have fun! Lisa
