Readbox Poster!

This year I'm all about getting more kids to come into the library. I created a board in Pinterest of all the great things other library media specialists and teachers have been doing in their libraries/classrooms. I came across this PInterest pin from Lessons With Laughter...

...and thought...what a great idea! 

I had to improvise with my background because we didn't have red bulletin board paper and the order that went in the previous week I was waiting for didn't include "red". I had some "red paper" so I decided to use that instead. With a little elbow work and tape...this is what I came up with. 

I couldn't find any "white" letters, nor would my printer "print" white letters so I decided to just go with black and it actually ended up turning out okay. 

After that I decided what books to use. They had to be available in my library media center, of course, but I also wanted books that had book trailers so I could include a QR code with each of the books. 

I'm hoping that added technology aspect will entice the students to come on in and check out the book. 

This is the end product! 

What do you think? What ideas have you used to entice students into your library media center? 

Note: I did laminate the "Readbox" background. I plan to leave it up and change the books out every couple of weeks. I also laminated the book covers so I can use those again as well. If we end up getting some red bulletin board paper some time this year, I might do this project over but for right now, I like what I came up with.
