Thank you so much!
Eileen Duncan
very nice lisa!
lisadills
Here's some that I made for the conference...
lisadills
Could you use egg cartons for a background - you bet!
lisadills
That made me think of computer game fonts...
lisadills
This ad made me think of a Tetris design...I might have to try it.
lisadills
More ideas. How about a display with a rope or string, some 3D birds, feathers, pom-poms, or book to help it POP?!
lisadills
What are you going to create?

I LOVE using the blockposters website - http://www.blockposters.com/
lisadills
Using beautiful book art I filled a board quickly and easily when I was short on time.
lisadills
Use photos from local events.
lisadills
Homecoming was fun for local teens to see in their space.
lisadills
Another Upstart poster that made me think of snowboarding...
lisadills
and Shaun White.

I matched celebrities with books I imagined them reading: "Big Ben" Wallace and a book about the clock Big Ben.
lisadills
Teens could take the quiz and see if they could match the book to the celebrity.
lisadills
Paula Abdul and the book, Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul.
lisadills
This website is fun to take photos and amp them up a bit. http://www.beowolftech.com/posterizeyourself/

Here I took a photo of my dog, Tillman and "posterized" him.
lisadills
Patron photos and the block poster website made for a fun display.
lisadills
Moms and dads...
lisadills
No matter what you're age...
lisadills
Cute little guys in frog suits or engaging the "trouble-maker teens" into posing. Help everyone feel connected to their library.
lisadills
Using the book, Post Secret as a starting point, teens were invited to create their own "post secret".
lisadills
Allow them to help create the display...
lisadills
How can you engage the viewer?
lisadills
Teen created art.
lisadills
Create displays showcasing patrons and their reasons for loving their library.

How about a display showcasing your staff as "superheros"? http://cpbherofactory.com/
lisadills
More ideas...maybe using Viola Swamp as an advice columnist.
lisadills
Or showcasing characters from Where the Wild Things Are.
lisadills
I'm planning on using this as inspiration for my winter bulletin board.
lisadills
This is a great board that could be adapted and even improved upon.
lisadills
Here are some ideas for different materials that can be used on a bulletin board display besides paper.
lisadills
Why not a license plate display?
lisadills
Create personalized plates - http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/
lisadills
This was originally a powerpoint display presented at WLA's 2010 Conference - "No Library Is an Island"
lisadills
I got the design idea for this board from...
lisadills
the clipart for a program about water use.
lisadills
I adapted aspects of it to fit our reading theme.
lisadills
Paper stuffed up under a larger piece created a 3D feel on the umbrella.
lisadills
Using a dollar store "jean" tablecloth made for a good pocket.
lisadills
Plastic deli bowls made great wheels, kids' pictures personalize the display, and crumpled paper made the tree.
lisadills
I saw a beautiful window display down in Seattle where they used this idea.
lisadills
The blog, "HELLO, My Name is Blog!" discussed being a "mental omnivore".
lisadills
Casting about for content is looking around you for ideas and inspirations!
lisadills
This is a bulletin board that I passed daily...hey, that gives me an idea!
lisadills
I found some crowd silhouette clipart.
lisadills
Ta-da!!
lisadills
I put speech bubbles up listing some of the ways we read everyday.
lisadills
Remember...constantly cast about for content!
lisadills
Using an overhead projector...
lisadills
I used Maurice Sendak's Chicken Soup with Rice song to create a display for an "extra" board that I didn't have time to do all the time.
lisadills
The white square in the middle is a fire alarm that is built into the bulletin board.
lisadills
Work around what you have - no big deal.
lisadills
Problem solved. A new display every month.
lisadills
This Upstart poster gave me an idea for a teen display.
