Poppin'

I am super fortunate to work with so many creative people. Those doing displays at our branch keep a schematic of what displays are where and who is doing them and when. It also becomes a good lesson on just doing the display and letting it go. Others will pick up the fluffing as needed or take the initiative to switch it out if it isn't moving well. Recently, one of our dynamo librarians, Tara, had this analogy: Displays are like the bag of popcorn in the microwave. At first it is like "poppin" constantly. Then after a while the "poppin" dies down and you know you have to take it out or it will burn. Same for displays. Who wants one that's all burned up? And by burned up we mean not moving or moved so fast and then interest wained.
As long as we're talking popcorn, a great prop for oh so many displays: a popcorn bucket from your local movie theater. You can also turn it over and use as a lift or riser in a display.
