We have a unique problem (or I guess I should say "challenge") at my new library. My branch's children's room is quite large. I'm not sure how many square feet it is, but it just keeps going and going and going. So, when it comes time to decorate the space for summer reading, it can be difficult to make a big impact. I think my staff did a great job, so I'm going to share some pictures I snapped of their efforts.

| When kids join our summer reading program, they can write their name on a worm for this bulletin board. When I took this picture, we had 1,803 kids signed up. |
I adore the wiggly worm wall! Lookin' good girl ~ jane
ReplyDeleteI have the same issue. My space is ginormous. We have to go big and bright or it wouldn't be noticed. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds apparently DO think alike! We also had kids color a die-cut worm to add to our huge bulletin board. Makes me smile every day when I look at all those colorful worms! :)
