Spent a week in a dusty library. Waiting for some words to jump at me..

I am changing this blog.
For the past couple of weeks, I have thought about writing on this blog and when I sat down to actually write...nothing happened.
Why? I think there is- was a lack of focus.
My personal blog is to write a few lines about stuff that is on my mind- I want this blog to offer some suggestions or fresh eyes on library day-to-day.
So! I have decided to take my DIY self and show some displays that I have created for a next to nothing budget. Program ideas. What the heck to do with volunteers. Social media and the library.
Just to name a few.
Since I am a musician first and a music lover my post titles will be song lyrics- or at the very least music related.
For my first post  with the new format, I will tackle an issue that I am sure many librarians have faced.
What to put in the display case, just to make sure it isn't empty. In between the winter holiday and Chinese New Year there was nothing scheduled in the display case at one of the branches I work at.
Since it lives in the entryway of the library, there had to be something put in it even if it will only be for a week and half or so.
The children's area had been painted recently and the pictures were taken down and hanging out in the branch manager's office.
So, using a piece of furniture, thumb tacks, and some books prizes from last year's summer reading game.
This is what you get.




Not super exciting, but it fills up the space and it did not require a lot of time to put together.

There you have it. First post with the new format. My intention is to post every other week.
Let's do this! 2019!
