Good ideas for school libraries: 14. Harmony Day 2009

.
Our school always does something for Harmony Day - varies year to year.  I aim to involve the library.  Here's our foyer:

Which, if you've read this blog before, you'll realise involves the same bookcase, but different books and a different banner.  This fabric is Ikea Gunilla ($9 per metre, not at all expensive).  I spotted it earlier in the year, and since the Harmony Day colour is orange, I snapped it up (the birds imply harmony of a kind, too).  The face-out books have some connection to Harmony Day; the orange spines are there to be orange, and for general browsing (maybe some kids will find something new, even though our choice is entirely and aribtrarily based on the orange spines! - we sometimes do other 'colour-themed' displays, as a different way to bring the attention of kids to various books and to support various themes).

What you need: the banners are as described (with making instructions) last week, the books are from the bookshelves of the library and you can find a bunch of Harmony Day graphics and more on the Harmony Day website.
