I am pulling together a January display that showcases underrated books from 2024. Everyone knows the bestsellers but what I want to highlight books that are quality but just didn't get on fire like others. Any suggestions on where to find those titles?

I have done a Google search and found some. Need to broaden to make sure that I have a wide enough pool to capture books in our collection.

Hello! I'm a librarian and I'm doing a Wicked-themed display for adults in the public library. One half will be Glinda-themed, and the other half will be Elphaba-themed. If you have book recommendations with these characters' vibes, I would love to hear them. Thank you!

Everyone knows the classic "___ of ___ and ___" formula for naming books nowadays, so I just had to make a display about it!

First time posting here, but wanted to share this display I made! I realized how many titles were just a name, and wanted to highlight that. The Eminem reference was just a bonus haha :)

I chose books that fit both definitions of a beach read, they are all light and easy to read, as well as being beach/summer related. ⛱️

Doing the universal CSLP theme “Adventure Begins at Your Library” and went with the camping theme. This is supposed to be a tent, I think/hope I succeeded 😉

This display was so fun to make! Lots of time spent folding while watching webinars!

I'm currently working on some sort of "blind date with a book" display where the books are wrapped up to hide what they are, and they're labeled with fanfiction tags as if they were posted on Ao3. I'm going for something that's just cute and fun, and I'm hoping y'all can help me come up with some ideas for popular books and tags.

Right now, I've got a decent list of classic literature (mostly romance, but I don't want to do JUST romance or JUST classic lit) with some tags that I think are applicable, but I want to broaden my horizons, both with popular books and with any tags that I might have missed. Here's some examples of what I have so far (keep in mind I haven't read some of these and I'm just going off Wikipedia synopses, so if I have anything wrong please correct me):

Beauty and the Beast - Forced proximity, enemies to lovers, nonhuman, fantasy AU

Pride and Prejudice - Enemies to lovers, Regency AU

What other ideas are people thinking of?

I mean obviously someone that can do something with this site. I was working at a public library when I created this subreddit, but have since ended up in a private law library. Spoiler alert: there are no displays at private law libraries. I hate that this subreddit is languishing, so if you think you can bring it back to it's former glory days, I'd love to hand the reins to you!

Give me some ideas for displaying 5"H x 3"w digits on a screen / board for a church. Want to replace the paper number on a wood board. (see attached pict)

Four 3 digit numbers stacked in a portrait fashion, for example: (See attached pict)

313

433

522

982

Each digit is 3"w x 5"h for visibility. Back background with white font.

Remote updating / changing via app or another device. Wall mountable.

yes, there are those red LED types from the 60s, but what about a modern, wireless solution?

Thanks!
