13 Awesome Library Displays

As a member of the bibliophile club I’ve always loved libraries. Any place with books is a place I’m happy to be in. Since I grew up before “look it up on your phone,” there really was only one place where you could go to look up information, and get your hands on books if you weren’t buying said books—I apologize to anyone who tried to check out the children’s book about the clown family and found that it was ALWAYS checked out. That was me. I loved that book and just kept checking it out over and over again. I don’t remember the title of the book but I do remember the very patient librarian who always let me summarize—for the billionth time—the book to her and always appeared to look interested. (She could not possibly have been and deserves an acting award.)

Being that it’s National Library Week—“a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries – school, public, academic and special – participate.”—I decided to round-up some awesome library displays. I already created a list of librarians to follow on Twitter (to once and for all dispel that silly stereotype of the old-lady-shushing librarian), and fictional characters driving bookmobiles (because bookmobiles!!!) but I apparently still had more I-love-libraries in me so here are 13 creative library displays.
