Ants! magical library bulletin board thread

Ask your Li-bee-rian?

Could do, but then...Liberia is a country, might be confusing?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I just found out that there's such a thing as World Bee Day, and it falls on May 20th. That seems perfect to me for some reason. And apparently they have themes, and this year's official theme is "Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all."

yeah, but people are terrible at geography and world knowledge...

 

[Ants!]

"Got any books on bees?"
"No, all of our books are on shelves."

 

[Nae'blis]

"Honey, you won't beelieve the books we have!"

I tried to emulate their logo and their theme for this year.

 

[Ants!]

Had just barely enough books related to bees in my collection to make it worth including them.

 

[Alucard15 Was Here]

Needs more puns, but I like it! Throw some stuff about how they make honey and make honey related stuff.

Winnie the Pooh upset about bees being on vacation and being out of honey. Oh, bother.

 

[Ants!]

I would, but my work day is almost over and I'm off for three days. It's also the last week of the semester for grad school so I'm trying to get all my assignments in on time. But we'll see. I like the idea!

 

[Kat]

It looks great!!

 

[Nae'blis]

Very nice!

 

[Ants!]

This one will be up until at least August 15th, because of the summer reading program. I messed up badly on the letters, but I figured that because of this years theme, I can get away with it since the flaws make it look more painted-on (which they are anyway).

 

[Ants!]

All the little pictures are printed out. The only things I painted were the words and the rainbows. And like two or three things on the printed-out objects that were the same shade of pink as the paper I used in the background so I painted them a different color to stand out better.

 

[Ants!]

This is what I based it on. I'm assuming that we have rights to the Trademark since it's a nation-wide program.

Heh. I just looked it up right after I posted that and it seems like we do. I felt pretty sure that we did anyway, I just hadn't confirmed it until after I did all this work. lol

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a consortium of state libraries and public library systems. Members include all 50 states, along with American Samoa, Cayman Islands, the District of Columbia, Guam, Mariana Islands, and Micronesia (Federated States of). Essentially, it's a group of public library systems working together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials.



Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• State Libraries and Systems:
  .

State libraries and public library systems are the main members of CSLP.

• Participating Public Libraries:
  .

Individual public libraries, systems, or groups of libraries can participate if their state or territory is a dues-paying member.

• Other Organizations:
  .

School libraries, tribal libraries, and other entities can participate in CSLP programs and events, but only in partnership with a participating public library.

• Military Bases:
  .

United States military bases, both within and outside the US, can request permission to use CSLP materials, but they don't pay dues and have no voting rights.

It's from google AI, but whatever.

Ooooops! I dropped the soap. I hope nobody takes advantage of me!

What is a book if not knowledge sandwiched between leatherbound bread?

 

[Ants!]

I'm tempted to make that my next board, and absolutely nobody else who comes to the library will get it except for me.

Should've spelled Colour properly then you don't have to worry about infringing on any copyright on misspelled words.

I suddenly have to make a back-to-school bulletin board. I'm thinking I have black paper and a bunch of white letters already cut out for me by some volunteers, so I could do a chalkboard type of thing.

Any ideas for school/library/chalkboard puns?

 

[dimmerwit]

I'd always recommend some kind of Another Brick in the Wall reference. Enhances the misery.

(this is why I shouldn't do this kind of job)

Get drawn into a good book.

Highlight your semester with reading.

Take a novel approach to learning.

Get write on target with your research.

 

[Ants!]

Take a novel approach to learning.

I could have put in more effort but this one is only going to be up for about half a month so, meh.

He took a novel approach to spacing.

I eyeballed the whole thing while stepping over stuff.

 

[Ants!]

Like I said: I didn't put in much effort this time because it's only going to be up for a couple of weeks instead of a full month. Ordinarily I would use a yardstick and a pencil to measure things out and place them more neatly but fuck that this time lol

 

[shortkut]

My question is, why are most books about middle school?

 

[Ants!]

My question is, why are most books about middle school?

Because I searched specifically for books in my branches YA collection that were about school and that's what we had a lot of.

You never have to worry about it though, books involve lots of reading so you're pretty safe.
