Recycling Display

So, shortly after the GN display I was given another.  This was another free-topic, so I decided to try and promote recycling in the community. 

I wanted to push three points:
- recycling programs in the community
- HOW to compost (some people don't know how to get started)
- safely disposing of hazardous household waste and electronic devices

I was cheap and used the same background that the previous display had been using, which is why the top looks so busy with all those earths and the bamboo background.  I was running late on putting this display together (I only had an hour and most of that time was spent removing the previous display).

I had a lot of information int his one, but I tried to keep it simple.  I made the text very large and easy to read, and kept it to point-form info so people could read it at a glance and come away with something environmentally friendly.

I suppose every display is an experiment in what works best.  I prefer displays that are out in the open and people can interact with.  I had one before (I didn't get a picture of it) that was promoting the adult non-fiction collection.  It was very simple; a table set up in the adult-non-fic section and I'd select interesting-looking non-fic books from the shelving carts to put out there.  It was surprising how quickly I needed to refill it, and I loved just watching people go to the reference desk, notice the table, and pick through the items on display.  I had 3 signs on it, and they were set up on bookends so they could be easily removed.  They advertised: "Sometimes Fact is better than Fiction" "Interesting Non-Fiction Reads" and "The Book you are looking for could be Right Here!"

I wish my library did more interactive displays.
