I hope you will find ideas you can use. Tell all your colleges and put the website address on the English list server please. I love to provide you with some good ideas. The website also contains a Calendar of Events. Maybe some celebrations will be different in your part of the world but lots of them are international days. I’ve done a display on Valentine’s once but it was before I had the website so no photos. Sorry. I had cut out a couple of pink paper hearts, ca 30 cm high and 25 cm wide. On them I had written expressions like: kiss kiss, cuty, hhmmnnn, sweetheart etc. Next to that I inflated a couple of pink balloons and attached them to the ceiling with the hearts dangling in between and a bit lower. You also could hang a couple of butterflies from the ceiling to represent the butterflies in our stomach when we’re in love. Under the balloons and hearts I seated a couch covered in pink fabric. Two tables next to the couch had packages with 4 or 5 novels (love stories) on them. A pink ribbon around the packages made it complete. It was easy to create and especially the girl loved it. But even some boys took a seat on the couch laughing and joking. It was a bit of a hassle to make the packages and the question was how to scan the books, but a pink fabric or plastic bag with a label or number should make it easier. By the end of the day most books were on loan. I haven't done anything with Chinese New Year, sorry. But chinese lanterns and bright red fabric will bring the right athmosphere, maybe additional christmas lights to give the red fabric a radiant glow? Hope you can do something with it? Cheers, Anita Hi Gail,

I am a secondary school librarian based in West London, England, looking for ideas to promote books and reading. Have you done any Valentine's Day, or Chinese New Year displays? I am desperate for ideas. Love your website which I found by chance today while surfing the internet.

Take a string of cotton (requiered length) and attach it to a pin. Kneed a little ball (size dollar)  and attach it at the bottom end of the cotton. When you want to hang posters exactly in line you push the pin in the board and wait til the cotton stops moving. Push the blu-tack against the surface.
