Teen Spaces: Digital Picture Frames
Denise Byers, the librarian from R. C. Loflin Middle School in Joshua, Texas, shares her idea to display book information in digital picture frames. She took the powerpoint slides she made for the Texas Library Association’s Lone Star books and exported each slide as a .jpg, which can be stored in the frame’s internal memory or on an SD card. She placed the frame on an open shelf at eye level. All the books on the slideshow are currently checked out and have a waiting list. She has recently ordered a bigger, 15″ frame available through the school’s approved vendors that takes video and audio and plans to load book trailers on it. Below is a sample book slide.
Thanks for sharing, Denise!

That is such a fabulous idea! I’m sort of surprised more bookstores and libraries haven’t done this already. Great job thinking outside the box! I’m currently about to graduate from library school and hope to find a job in teen services, and I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks so much!
