Each month, the Campus Library staff create multiple thoughtful displays that can be found on the first and second floors. This post documents all of the library displays in the months of August and September 2019.
August Displays
Recreational Reading Collection – 1st FLOOR
Created by Members of the Rec Reading Team Summer 2019: Cora Thomas (Circulation Lead) and Mary Yutani (Reserves Supervisor)
Message from Cora and Mary:
“For the month of August, we are highlighting our Recreational Reading Collection with some of our favorite titles and staff picks. Our collection is made possible by the generous donations of our students, faculty, staff, and community. It includes fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, audio-books, and a children’s and middle readers section. Everyone is welcome to enjoy books in the library for leisure or check them out with a valid UW or Cascadia library card at the Circulation Desk. After a test, grab a book and de-stress! On a break? Delve into a novel or funny story! Enjoy 4-week loans with unlimited renewals and no overdue fines.
“Throughout this month, we hope the campus community and our visitors have fun looking at the colorful display and then exploring our Rec Reading collection. Our Adult section is next to the Reserves area on the first floor of the library and our Children’s and Middle Readers sections are directly to your left as you walk into the library’s main entrance. In this section, we also provide canvas book carts on wheels for parents who would like to carry books as they explore the library with their young children.
“For more information about the collection, please visit our Recreational Reading Collection Guide.”
Homegoing (Fiction) 
The Journey (Children’s) 
Saga (Graphic Novel)
Stranger Things [inspired] – 2nd floor
Created by Emily Oomen (Former Circulation Student Employee) and Lana Sheykho (Circulation Student Employee)
“The display is fun and helps motivate kids to read especially because it is based on a show, Stranger Things. Since the show just came out people might be more interested in spooky books” – Emily and Lana
September Displays
Graphic Novels – 1st floor
Created by Kimberly Kramer (Materials Processing Technician Lead)
“This month, I wanted to draw attention to the new standalone Graphic Novels collection, located on the 3rd floor between the periodicals and curriculum collections. More than that, I also wanted to highlight our recent expansion of the Graphic Novels collection with a number of new, popular and diverse titles by diverse creators, including manga, memoirs, adaptations, and comics” – Kimberly
BIRDS – 2nd Floor
Created by Eva Haynes Kiehn (Circulation Student Employee)
“I chose the theme of bird-focused children’s literature, because I really enjoyed bird stories when I was little, and I grew up going bird-watching with my family. Additionally, we have a wide variety of birds on campus, and so I wanted to draw attention to that” – Eva
While all of these displays have come and gone, these books are still available to check out!
