I do love this season, and all things Halloween. Here are some pics of how I've decorated the library:
|
Main bulletin board, including quote by Edgar Allan Poe
Skelton and tarantula are original things I drew, the rest is vintage Halloween decor, clip art, and a library poster.
For the light green and brown "grass," I just cut up some construction paper all crazy-like. |
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."
-Edgar Allan Poe
|
The cylindrical display cabinet, which I keep unlocked so I can encourage kids to grab books out of it.
The raven on top has a tag around its neck that says, "Nevermore." |
|
The "Coming Soon" whiteboard, festooned with glowing skulls. (And yes, we DO now have "Blood of Olympus.") |
|
Vintage 3D Halloween decorations |
|
The green skulls are just clip art printed on colored paper, with orange paper flames, mounted against black paper. |
|
I like this poster. It always makes me think of Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes." |

These are the windows of my horrible little cave of an office. |
