Jack Frost nipping at your nose...

It is that time again...making a display that is holiday-e and inclusive. It is tough. In the past I have had some bang up displays in December. Star Wars themed (Planet Hoth), book snowman, and  Krampus just to name a few. It was easy when I worked at the art school. The student workers were motivated to not do library work and make elaborate displays for me. At the public library, the teen advisory board made a display (with my help) and covered all the bases we could think of for December holidays.
At the college I am at now, I was inspired by a "Season's Readings" post I saw on Pintrest.
I used snowflakes I had from my holiday decorations box, got blue poster board from Michael's, and my daughter painted a sign for me.
Some of the other librarians cut out snowflakes (out of scratch paper) and we made a green book "tree" from some discarded books. The seasonal reading materials featured are graphic novels and some books from the kid's section. Always the DIY'r, I wanted it to cost nothing, but I had to buy the poster paper, so it cost $6.50.
Is it amazing? No. But it filled up the display case so it won't sit empty for the next week and half.
Here are some photos of the current and previous December holiday library displays.

I couldn't find the Star Wars holiday display photos. Here is a link to my Instagram. I put one there.
