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
Emma - Friends to lovers, matchmaking, Regency AU
Great Expectations - Marriage of convenience, Victorian AU
Romeo and Juliet - Forbidden love, first love, angst, death fic, Renaissance AU
Wuthering Heights - Misunderstanding, ill-fated lovers, death fic, gothic romance, hurt/no comfort, Victorian AU
The Phantom of the Opera - Love triangle, childhood friends, mystery man, angst, Victorian AU
A Midsummer Night's Dream - Crack fic, humor, love square, love at first sight, Renaissance AU
Much Ado About Nothing - Enemies to lovers, humor, matchmaking, Renaissance AU
Lady Chatterley's Lover - Loveless marriage, the other man, infidelity, forbidden love, Victorian AU
Jane Eyre - Meet cute, enemies to lovers, sabotaged relationship, mutual pining, exes to lovers, fated lovers, Regency AU
Maurice: A Novel - Loveless marriage, gay romance, class difference, angst, coming out, dark academia, pre-WWI AU
A Room With a View - Loveless marriage, forbidden love, mutual pining, Edwardian AU
Persuasion - Exes to lovers, second chance at love, Regency AU
The Great Gatsby - Unrequited love, love triangle, jealousy, revenge, Jazz Age AU
Slaughterhouse Five - Sci-fi AU, time travel, unreliable narrator, aliens made them do it, WWII and Cold War AU
Dante’s Inferno - Crossover AU, crack fic, writer self-insert
The Iliad - War, hurt/no comfort, death fic, revenge, they’re gay your honor, Ancient Greece AU
Julius Caesar - friends to enemies, betrayal, guilt, angst, hurt/no comfort, death fic, Ancient Rome AU
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Crack fic, zombie apocalypse AU, enemies to lovers, Regency AU (this one isn't precisely classic lit, but I couldn't resist including it lol)

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!
Hello everyone! My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I was wondering if anyone could instruct me how to properly print a PDF of a bookmark so that multiple bookmarks are printed on a single page. I use a Windows PC and have access to Acrobat reader. I ask this because I'm interested in using some of Overdrive / Libby's promotional bookmarks (specifically for the Great Library Read next month), but many of the bookmarks they send out only have one copy on the PDF and I'd hate to waste paper. Thank you in advance if anyone has the answer to this.
Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.
