Hanukkah For Picture Book Lovers--Tour My Library

Every year when Hanukkah rolls around I get to stage the children's library I run for the holidays. That means that EVERY single holiday book we own (and we own quite a few) comes off the holidays book shelves and goes up to look really pretty and really festive.

For about 5 minutes.

Once the teachers and parents and kids get wind that the Hanukkah books are out, my lovely displays kind of go to pieces and then I rebuild and redecorate and redisplay until Hanukkah is over.

But for once I thought...I really ought to take some pictures and show the blogosphere all the picture books I've been playing with for the last few years. And actually give you all a mini-tour of my library.

My main wall o'books!

Close up of some shelves--yeah, Simba lives there all year except when he follows certain kids home:-)

Moar Hanukkah books!

And here's another wall of my library--including a signed Amelia Bedelia Poster!!!!!

And more Hanukkah books! Plus my snakes and dragons! They guard the books.

That's my desk...from the outside...the inside is a bit messy scary. I was reorganizing... ;)

You can see part of my "reading carpet." The kids like to sit on different holidays.

And that's my Cat in the Hat poster--we're very big on Dr. Seuss (we share the same B-Day!)

So...I hope you enjoyed my tiny tour--I bet most of you didn't even know I worked with so many picture books considering how YA centric my blog is:-) But there you go--Hanukkah books are out!

One day I'll have to do a tour of my own personal home library...after I buy some more shelves...
