Library Lottery Tickets
Wondering about a fun and easy reward for the library or regular classroom? How about a Student Lottery ticket? Once you've created and printed them off you can cover with a scratch sticker. So many fun ways to reward students for awesome behaviors! Library Lottery Tickets
Non-Fiction Dewey Reimagined
Have you thought of revamping your Non-fiction section and moving away from Dewey to categories?? How about adding non-fiction “companions” or “read-alikes” to your fiction sections? How about including a book on Manga iconography displayed in the Manga section or True Crime books displayed in the Mystery section?
Displaying History
If you have access to historical documents, they can serve as excellent signage for your library displays. This is one simple way to share history with patrons.
