@Dorene: unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the library. Actually, I hardly even left the house – too much food to eat and too many nieces and nephews to play with. Hopefully next time.

There are great decorations throughout the whole building!

As far as marking them “display,” we had been saving green books from weeding and donations that weren’t going to be added into our main collection. That way, none of our books were out of circulation.

I am trying to campaign for our Friends of the Library to create one of these next year; we have a lovely artificial tree with book ornaments, but I think we need a Book Tree too. And yay for Ohio libraries! (says a fellow Buckeye)
