A week or two ago the librarian at the Ewing High School library asked me to come up with a display that would promote school spirit in the Media Center. With that in mind, I went back to my dorm and set to work sketching out some ideas. I came up with the idea to portray their school mascot, the blue devil, active in the different elements in the library. I painted the blue devil searching on the internet, and the blue devil reading a book (pictures to come soon) but was having a hard time coming up with a slogan to tie the two images, as well as our message, together.
Today, the librarian introduced me to the marketing teacher at Ewing High School and asked if she had any ideas for a slogan. She suggested I come in and talk to one of her classes about coming up with an idea to spruce up the display: a possible slogan, maybe an idea for another graphic. So Wednesday morning I will be speaking with her first block class to get some ideas on how to make the library more community-centered and school spirited.
I think the prospect of connecting with the classes is a great opportunity for the library, and for myself as an aspiring librarian. The library should be all about connecting the different areas of the school, and what a great way to get started, promoting school spirit and student involvement, as well as using aesthetic creativity to spruce up our learning environment.
