Encouraging Student Voice and Library Advocacy through Displays

One of the things I try to encourage in my school library is student engagement and voice. This year I’ve got several keen beans who have taken great joy in creating book displays, and I’ve worked with them to create social media posts to promote their efforts and advocate for the importance of the library to our school community. Here’s a selection of some of the posts we’ve created so far.

Our post celebrating Taylor Swift as excitement for her Eras tour swept through the school
We always get asked where the Romance and Horror books are, so to test the demand for genrefication I had some students help create these themed displays. Other students volunteered to make a LGTBQI+ display as well as one celebrating the Year of the Dragon.

It’s wonderful to see students excited about books and wanting to make the space their own!
