Fall into Books!

I'm in the middle of Book Fair and thought I'd add a quick post of a recent display. In the past I've kept a tree up all year and just changed it with the seasons. For the fall colors, I've used these yellow, orange, and red leaves three times now. The trunk is made of brown packing paper twisted and braided and for the gradually diminishing branches, half the paper and twist, half the paper and twist, making smaller and smaller branches.

I pulled books with leaves on the covers along with books that had the word fall in the title and placed them on the floor with the fallen leaves.

Using the same colors over and over again in a display is a good way to pull it all together. I used the same black background three times now. I'll open up the loft bed for the library's Christmas decorations and the spring displays, but for now, black has been an easy backdrop for the first semester displays.
