Resources on library display

I just like to share some resources on organizing reading activities and displaying of library materials:

 

Just google "pinterest library displays" and look at the links.  There are many good ideas to follow.

 

I had some pin collected and there are listed in:

http://pinterest.com/dexterine/

 

There are lot of art and craft ideas used in Libary and book displays there!

 

For actual display work, you may start with any art and craft books that are available in your library or NLB and modify the ideas for library display! (Book on library display is not helpful as there are not up-todate!)

 

Self learning is not easy, yet nothing is impossible! Start with things that you can make first and move on...

 

If your Library Co-ordinator can form a class for teachers and student librarians, I would then be able to impart some ideas in person, and you may learn from hands-on workshop.

Hope the information is helpful!

Never mind what others do...

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

I like to read and keep quotations, and I just design a course on:

Pop-up book on quotation: INNO HANDS-ON Workshop
http://innoworkshop.blogspot.sg/2013/04/pop-up-book-on-quotations.html

I think it is combining information and art and craft skills that make a joyful day for me!

How about turning the quotations into pop-up pages that you can read and keep them as a pocket book.

In this workshop, you will learn to design ten pop-up pages with quotations of your choice.

At the end of the workshop, you will acquired the knowledge and skills in quotation searching and understand the the folding used in making paper images pop-up.
