Amundsen High School Vampire Booktalk
Poster for New Vampire Fiction at Amundsen High School. It was made using photoshop and a large format poster maker. This accompanied a booktalk I gave to all the Freshman classes. This booktalk included series such as Twilight and Vampire Academy, but also brought in more male oriented books such as Soul Enchilada and graphic novel Life Sucks. This was an extremely successful booktalk, particularly with the male students. Please click the pdf below to see the complete poster.

Coonley Elementary Book Displays
I really enjoyed putting up the October book displays at Coonley. The library didn't have that many books specifically about Halloween, so I included books about Autumn, Day of the Dead, Monsters, and Nonfiction about Rats, Bats, Spiders, and other creepy subjects. These books were very popular.
Oxford English Dictionary Database Flyer

Wordles
Wordles created using ebook versions of popular Children's and YA Lit, specifically Terry Pratchett's I Shall Wear Midnight, Suzanne Collin's Mockingjay, and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods. I copied the first chapter of each book onto the Wordle software to create these displays. They give students a visual impression of what the book is about and piques their curiosity about certain words that appear.
