Personal Book Displays
11:00 PM EDT 5/1/07
Talking about book displays with one of our volunteers led us to a discussion about displaying personal collections of books in our homes. I discovered that the volunteer, Judy Morganroth, has a collection of Christmas books which she displays during the season. She collects these not for their value but for their beauty and story. She has amassed quite a collection. I thought readers might like to see her display and wondered if others have a picture of a collection to share.<br><p>

These are in libraries, not homes, but there might be some neat ideas in the group still:

Here's my favorite home library pic. Pretty!:

Again, not at home. But it *could* be!

Thanks for posting this....I love these color coded displays.

I hope you'll encourage the staff at your library to submit pics of their book displays on this forum.

Wow, lots of good pictures here. I'm going to need a bit of time to look at all. Thanks for posting these. Book collectors are such interesting people. It's neat that some will create elaborate displays of their favorites.

Not quite on-topic, but I wanted to share this Unshelved comic for those of us who are passionate about our books:

I'm sure [url http://worldcat.org/oclc/52092008&referer=brief_results ]Nancy Pearl[/url] is chuckling over this one.

Live dangerously! A bit off topic and deliciously fun!
