Early in my time as teacher librarian at Warners Bay I made a sign for the new book display. As you enter the library the New Books display is directly in front of you. Originally it had no sign at all and I wanted to create a bit of excitement. I used letters from Typo and glued them to a strip of wood to make the sign. On special for a dollar each were some letters that looked like large Scrabble letters. I couldn’t believe my luck when I found the letters of “NEW”. For “books” I used assorted letters for interest and colour. The colours of this sign determined the colours I have used throughout the library. Red was already a feature colour but the other colours came from this.
