Our favorites from the School Design Contest

Our favorites from the School Design Contest Last fall we encouraged schools to give the power of promoting their digital library to the students. Here are some of our favorites. Conestoga Valley High School (PA) jazzed up some already existing OverDrive-created designs: To promote our OverDrive collection (including hot titles like the Divergent series), we capitalized on the excitement and anticipation of hopefully getting a new gadget over the holidays. Our Library Committee created a seasonal display by enhancing existing OverDrive designs and adding student-created dimensional paper holly and berries, and a snazzy new QR code. Rather than use a URL, our students told us in no uncertain terms that QR codes are their choice for quick access to a site. ("Seriously Mrs. McClune, is someone going to stand in the hall and type in the URL?!") We used Unitag to create a free, colorful QR code that features OverDrive's logo in the center so there's no doubt about what students are accessing. - Patty McClune, Coordinator, Conestoga Valley High School Librarian Traverse City West Senior High (MI) printed and displayed posters created by one of their students:   The designs for the six posters were created by one of our students. They are all the same except for the student featured. We have three neighborhoods in our school and we selected one girl and one boy from each neighborhood to feature. Then we made several copies of each poster and hung them in the corresponding neighborhoods. The idea was to get students to look at the poster because they recognize the student that is in them. - Genevieve Minor, Traverse City West Senior High Media Specialist   Keep sending us pictures of your school's marketing efforts and we will share more of our favorites later this year.   Cassie Renner is a Marketing Specialist with OverDrive.
