Display Ideas for October

Welcome to October. Fall hit with a vengeance of colder weather and rain here in New England. It gave me the perfect excuse to curl up with a book or two and snuggle with the puppy. One of things I miss about being a YA Librarian is making displays. So I thought maybe I'd write up a few posts about display ideas and create a monthly blog post.

October is:

* National Pizza Month

* National Diabetes Month

* National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

* Computer Learning Month

* Cookie Month

* Domestic Violence Awareness Month

* National Vegetarian Month

* Sarcastic Month

All of these don't work with teen books, but all of them have touched teen lives in their own way.

Computers: Hacking or coding books

Book Bakery

Cookie: characters who bake or work in a bakery/coffee shop

Domestic Violence: Books about Abuse (I have a booklist brochure that I created - shoot me an email if you'd like it. My email address is on the book in the upper right corner of the blog)

Fruits and Veggie Love

Vegetarian: Books with vegetarian characters or vegetarian cookbooks

Grumpy Cat and Happy Bunny were favorites at the library with teens

 Sarcastic: Sassy characters

And of course horror/thriller books for Halloween
