In honor of Women's History Month, the library I'm interning at had me put together a display. We don't have a lot of display space in our library, so we have to get creative with what we do have. For this display, I spent some time researching what other libraries had done. I had few ideas about what I might want to do, but I wasn't entirely sure yet. I found a display that another library did for book characters, where they put some information about the character and had people guess who it is. I decided to do something similar to that, except I would replace the book characters with important women in history.
I made cards for 20 different women throughout history. Each has a description of what they have done on the outside, and a picture with their name and the years they lived on the inside. After I made those, I went are the library and found books for the display about important events and people in women's history. I enjoyed making this display, and I feel like I've learned about a lot of different important women in history by doing this. I'm looking forward to making more displays like this in the future!
