Library christmas

Snowman Book Sculpture: Creating your own snowman book sculpture is an easy way to get into the winter spirit! This display is perfect for libraries, classrooms, stores, you name it! Everyone loves these little guys!

Woops! I started this post months ago, and didn't realize I never posted it! We went all out for the holidays this year in the FS...

I reused my American Girl library cards and books as ornaments for the mini tree on the desk in the Children's Room. Rudolph the Red-nosed Bookshelf (cardboard antlers; the rest is construction paper) My co-worker and I tried to just free-hand one of those trendy book trees and it flopped. About three times in a row. Here's what we learned: put a tripod on the table and stack books around it; works like a charm.

We opted to put up a stacked book tree this year for Christmas and decided to share all about how to make a Christmas tree out of books! #booktree
