Art in the library

I always like seeing how different libraries make use of their wall space (if they have any) and what art work or displays or other interesting bits and pieces are on display.

All of the work below is particularly special as it was created by the primary pupils of the school library and then put on display there.  I particularly like the first item, which looks like a book array but is a clever stitching of rolled up magazine pages!

The next is a clever way of using book covers that have been discarded during covering or processing – or I guess you could just photo copy and laminate them.  If you’ve got a high ceiling and want to lower it, this kind of hanging display is particularly nice.

Finally – the shelf of cuddles!  What a nice addition to an infant library … could anything be nicer than cuddling up to something soft while reading your favourite book?

I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.
