I want to thank everyone who responded with some very creative ideas for
my part on the float or St. Patrick's Day Parade:
Original Post:
I have been told that our school will be in the St. Patrick's Day
Parade, (Not NYC, but Scranton, PA) and my little library will be
represented. I need some creative ideas for my spot on the float. I
thought of a few things, but I know I will get by with a little help
from my friendsJ

reading brings us "the Luck of the Irish"-

How about a large cardboard box (like a washer or dryer size) that is
painted to look like an open book? You could title it with "The
Luckiest Leprechaun" by Justine Korman or "The Elves and the Shoemaker"
by Grimm or some other Irish connected book. Then YOU could dress as
the character and pop out from the book.
May be too time consuming and far out, but that's what I got.

Why not go with the ALA Green theme of "Read, Renew, Return" :)

What about something along the lines of "Reading Never Grows Old" and
have people riding on the float dressed like different book characters,
especially those that never grow old, like Peter Pan. Just a thought.

How about a giant book with students dressed up as characters. I'd put
a white sheet over a rectangular frame and paint it to look like a
cover.

Reading gives you some place to go when you have to stay where you are.
