Still More "Canvassing" the YAZ

Our teen patrons have been putting the finishing touches to their Halloween decorations in our Young Adult Zone (YAZ) windows.  Like so:

You can vote on your favorites (from these and the others mentioned in my previous blog posts) when you visit the Library.  Look for the bright yellow box.

P.S.  One of our teen patrons, who was also a former library staffer, created this book trailer for The Phantom Tollbooth (1961), by Norton Juster (illustrated by Jules Feiffer).

More YAZ "Canvassing"

Our teen patrons continued using our Young Adult Zone (YAZ) windows as their artistic canvases to decorate the Library for Halloween.  Crafty Gal, who hasn't been a teen for awhile but has had heaps of experience as a teen librarian at a nearby library, joined the fun.  As always, click the images to bigify.

I'm really enjoying this festive artwork.  The YAZ should be decorated for every major holiday!  Just saying, Programma Mama.

"Canvassing" the YAZ

The YAZ (Young Adult Zone) at my Library became artists' canvas this week as teens began painting the windows for Halloween.  There's definitely a sci-fi/fantasy element intertwined with the ghostly stuff, but I'm down with that.

 Bottom Left, Clockwise:  C-3P0 & R2D2 (Star Wars); Spock, Kirk,
McCoy (Star Trek); Shaggy (?) & Scooby-Doo; Cobwebs;
I Have No Idea; Casper the Friendly Ghost (?); Charlie Brown

I'll have to ask Programma Mama about those dudes in the red and blue shirts (upper right).

 L to R:  C-3P0 & R2D2; Cross-Bones; a Cat (!); Tombstones

 The Doctor (in Disguise) & a Dalek

 Back to the Tombstones

Certainly a mix of unusual characters, not ordinarily found together in their respective fictional universes, but, hey, Halloween is about the mysterious and the imaginary, so anything can happen.

I'm looking forward to more teen art in the YAZ windows.  I'll keep you posted.

P.S.  In this episode of MEG-A-RAE (August 31, 2012), Miss Meg & Miss Rachel host a panel discussion about all things Doctor Who.  There are even cool TARDIS sounds!
