Libraries like to celebrate the holidays, too! Here are some festive displays from libraries that incorporate books and evoke the holiday spirit.
First, we have some pretty cool snowpeople shared in the thumbnail of this post!

Sonja Shulz, a high school librarian in Texas, built this great snowman

Courtesy of Irwin Library at Butler University, here’s another snowman built on a base made of reams of paper and sporting a top hat made of books
We can find enough trees built of books to make a forest! Here are three beautiful examples:

We did a book tree at Bell Library back in 2012. Do you recognize the old Circulation Desk in the background?
The folks at this Law Library even created a festive hearth from books!
And, although it doesn’t involve books, I couldn’t resist sharing this gorgeous photo from the Library of Congress, where they decorate a spectacular space beautifully for the holidays. This picture was taken in 2016, when social distancing was clearly not in effect!

Wishing you a happy holiday from all of us at Bell Library!
