Some of the best ideas for our book displays come from non-library sources. This month was no exception.

The inspiration? J. Crew's current window featuring accordion pleated circles. I'm digging it 'cause it's festive and special, but it's not overly sicky-sweet and cutesy.

Here's our interpretation of the display:
 It was a great way to use up back issues of magazines, and we had an assembly line going with study hall kids. There's a small frame on the right side of the desk (made out of rolled up magazines) with a sign that reads: Books We <3. The books we picked were just ones with pink and red covers. Here's another view:

For our secondary display I found inspiration on Pintrest. I've been meaning to make paper garlands like these for my Christmas tree.

Pin from this Etsy store.

Here's how my version looks:
It was an easy project to cut out a bunch of paper hearts and then stitch them together with my sewing machine. I like the way the hearts twist and shake with as the heat comes on.
