Summer is Here

Librarian Summer MemeIt’s been awfully quiet around the blog these past few weeks, and with good reason. Those of us in academic libraries are just coming out of our recovery hibernation: that period immediately following final exams where we need to decompress, drink some wine, and try to forget about the hoards of students looking for scholarly articles the day before their final paper was due. If those of you in public libraries are anything like my awesome local public library, you’re probably taking a programming break before kicking off a jam-packed summer schedule.

Now that we’ve transitioned out of the May resting period, April and I thought it would be a great time to send out another call for submissions.

The theme: SUMMER.

The designers: YOU.

The details: We want to know how you’re promoting summer programs, including summer reading, at your library. Are you creating fantastic book displays for adults, students, or children? Do you have an eye-catching print or online campaign to publicize your library’s events this summer? Are you really proud of your summer reading advertisements?

Share them with us, and we’ll share them with everyone else. We’d love to know what you’re up to this summer.

Back from ACRL

Forgive the lack of posting on Librarian Design Share. Both April and I have been preparing for and attending the ACRL 2013 conference, leaving our design-minded readers with little to see from us in their RSS and Twitter feeds. But we’re back! Coming up this week and next: Examples of fun library display designs from community college and public libraries.

In Need of Library Display Inspiration

After reviewing our past posts, April and I realized that Librarian Design Share is seriously lacking in the book/library resource display category. As medical and academic librarians, we don’t often get the chance to create fun, interesting displays for our students and faculty, but we know that so many of you do!

Want to share your latest book display? Here’s your chance! Email us photos of your latest and greatest work, and we’ll feature your amazing display here on Librarian Design Share. We’re looking forward to seeing what you’ve designed!

Your Designs, Here

Although we love the feedback you give on our own designs, we’re hoping to feature more non-april-and-veronica library creativity. We’re so grateful to the librarians who have submitted their work to us here at Librarian Design Share, and we’re eager to display new designs as well.

If you’ve created a brochure, handout, display, web design, or some other visual material for your library that you’re particularly proud of, consider showing it off here. Or if you have a work-in-progress that needs some feedback from other librarians, send it our way.

Our colleagues in Libraryland are some of the most creative people we’ve ever met, and we want to share that creativity here.

Holiday Hiatus Over

…and we’re back! After a lovely few weeks off many of us are back in the library (and yes, some of us never left) getting ready for our next big program/class/event. What kinds of publications, displays, designs or visual materials are you working on at the moment? We’d love to hear from you.
