I have learned a lot about how to create good displays with catchy posters.  It made me explore and find out about useful websites.  I feel equipped to get to work and have fun with new displays.Thanks!

Incorporating ideas and subjects beyond what is mainstream is of interest to me.
Re-purposing was pretty useful since I am hesitant to spend money on potentially one-time deals.

I have gained some fresh perspectives and new resources. The first week of class really gave me some better ideas on designing signage and the fourth week I enjoyed the font tutorials

I appreciate all the helpful information and resources I've been introduced to here. Pinterest was usually my "go to" for display ideas but there is clearly a whole other wold out there to explore for ideas. I have really taken away signage tips on lines, graphics, fonts and colors to use in mind. 

All of these resource links have been so helpful! I'm always thinking of where to cultivate new display ideas, so I'm happy to have plenty of out-of-the-box ways to think of topics. My biggest takeaway though was what could go along with the display to give out. From little freebies to bookmarks, I'm going to be thinking of companions that would go with my displays.

I LOVE paper crafts and that last link in prop resources is going to be of use!

I gained insight into how other librarians and teachers are being creative with their displays. I loved how a first grade teacher and her husband created a tree book display for her classroom. Definitely sprucing up a display with a mixture of colors and props can add the engagement element that you are looking for. On a different note, it was great learning about all the different themes for each month. I can see myself doing another book display in the near future. I enjoyed the class.
