STEAM books in SRCSA library

Countertop display of books arranged upright on stands, their titles facing outward. To the left, a handmade sign out of colorful letters against black-and-white patterned contact paper reads, 'Salute to S.T.E.A.M.' There are yellow borders, darker polka-dots against a lighter-yellow background, above and below the lettering of the sign. From left to right, the books on display are 'STEM Careers: Civil Engineer,' 'Careers if You Like the Arts,' 'STEM Careers: Chemist,' 'Design, Animate, and Create with Computer Graphics,' 'and STEM Careers: Software Engineer.'

One of this month’s highlights was a STEAM fair at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. Here’s a display I put out in the library at SRCSA ... a variety of books on the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.

I assembled the sign from decorative lettering, which I attached to patterned contact paper, along with patterned decorative paper strips that were in the library workroom cabinet.

There are several more books than could fit in the frame, plus I’ve been rotating and changing titles as students check out books. A gap on the shelf among books on display means that a book is being read. That’s cause for celebration!
