November Meeting: Canva Marketing Materials

I take full responsibility for the fact that several Bookshop members found our spooky October book, The Screaming Staircase, by Jonathan Stroud, a little too creepy and decided not to read it. Those members who did read it seemed to enjoy it, and we had some good discussion about what we would do if we were in a ghost-hunting agency. A few kids got super excited to learn that Lockwood & Co. is a series with the fourth book just published this fall!

Luckily, our project for the meeting was very flexible in terms of content, so everyone was able to create cool marketing materials using Canva, whether or not they read the book. Some Bookshoppers chose to create trifold brochures, some created more traditional posters, and one made a business card. Several of their creations are displayed below:

We are reading The Ninja Librarians: The Accidental Keyhand by Jenn Swann Downey for our November book, and we will be meeting on the SECOND Monday of the month, December 12th, to tap into our own inner ninja librarians and hopefully create a short movie. Copies of the book can be picked up at the Children's Room desk.
