TPiB: 5 Things To Do With Post-Its In Your Library
With only a few minutes and a couple dollars, you can do some really creative and engaging things. Check out these ideas, take a look around your space, grab some sticky notes and see what you can do!
Encourage teens to write poems to share on a wall or window, or encourage them to copy favorite lines and share them like the Durham County Library did.
Stick secret notes into favorite books for teens to discover, or add to. Reading is social, even if it’s secretly social as this Post Secret submission reminds us.

Thanks for including our Nyan Cat! This year we did characters from Adventure Time!
Another fun thing we did recently was use black post-its to “decorate” book covers for a mustache display!

Love it! What a great use, thanks for sharing! So, was it fun or tedious to cut out all of those mustaches?
I did a Six-Word Memoirs – where teens could write a simple six-word line that describes something about themselves. They were so inventive, and it makes a great passive program!
