When I worked for a library, I was in charge of making some of the book displays. I still have the lists I used, so I decided why not make posts about them? Maybe someone will be interested in the books, or another library/bookstore out there would like to put up their own display!

 

For Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day (12.08), I did a media display! (any books mentioned would have been on audio)

Jurassic Monsters of the Deep (2015)

The Time Travelers Wife (2010)

The Accidental Time Machine - Haldeman, Joe W.

The Time Machine - Wells, H. G

THe Time Machine  (2010)

Somewhere in Time (2000)

Time Bandits (2014)

The Prince of Persia (2010)

Timeless (Season 1 - 2017)

The Clockwork Man - Odle, E. V.

The Butterfly Effect (2004)

Black Tuesday - Mayer, Bob

Bill & Ted's Excelent Adventure (2001)

Time Trax (Season 1 - 2012)

Back to the Future (2002)

 

For the year first year that I did these displays, I celebrated Dewey Decimal Day (12.10), where I wrapped books Blind Date style and only put their decimal on the front. Because of that, I don't have an actual list, but If you don't know the Dewey Decimal System, here you go!

 

I also did a Happy Holidays display, where I tried my best to pull books for more than just Christmas. Our library was a little limited, but here's what I got.

Easy Books

Diwali Lights - Singh, Rina

D is for Dreidel - Paprocki, Greg

Children's Books

Divali Story - Ganeri, Anita

Horrible Harry and the Holidaze - Kline, Suzy.

Miss Holly is too Jolly - Gutman, Dan.

Kevin's Kwanza - Bullard, Lisa

My First Kwanza - Katz, Karen

Candelight Rebecca - Greene, Jacqueline Dembar

The rest were just Christmas Books, and nothing particularly interesting enough to list.
