Hi Cathy,
We would definitely be interested in the Literary Bio books! I love everyone’s
Holiday display. At our school, we have very few Christians, so we keep our
Holiday décor to a minimum.
Thank you,

No we actually have a set of Dictionary of Literary Biography (220 volumes)
that we're getting rid of so it was the perfect opportunity! Then we ran around
looking for other blue hardbacks - I hope no one wants to read those in the
next month....
If anyone would like a set of Literary Bio books you can have them - they are
looking for a new home. But not until January!

I love the snowman, and I think the advent calendar is a wonderful idea. We
finished our book tree this morning - one of our facilities guys said "oh, you
have an artificial tree!"

This is great Brian! It’s always tough to know if the students will respond to
displays but I think the interactive nature of your display definitely will
heighten the interest!
I went with a secular display with my Snowman built out of books. I saw this
on Pinterest and just couldn’t resist! I’ve seen a few boys chuckle at it so
far this morning. Happy Holidays to all! -- Tana (Bellarmine)

Subject: [baisl] Display idea: Library Materials Advent Calendar
Dear BAISLers,
I want to share a display idea that I’m trying out at Saint Mary’s—a library
materials Advent Calendar. I wrapped several books and dvd’s in holiday paper
and bought some small gift bags, candy, and pencils/erasers from the dollar
store. Our campus ministry prints up advent calendars with wisdom sayings that
I cut up and taped to each wrapped book/dvd with a gift bag. Then I put in an
announcement to students letting them know that the first student to ask on the
day would be able to unwrap and check out the library material and keep the
gift bag.
It’s only the second day, but our community is enjoying it, so I wanted to
share it with you as well.
While it is clearly Christian themed, I also put up a sign for Mawlid on Dec. 1
and have a Menorah for Dec. 12-20. I want to make it as inclusive as possible
while still celebrating Saint Mary’s Catholic identity.
If you try it and come up with ideas to make it better, please let me know!
Thank you everyone for making a great BAISL community and Happy Holidays ☺
Sincerely,
Brian Thomas
