Promoting your library through social media using Instagram and Webstagram </h2>
<h4>
Instagram--you've probably heard of it (even if you don't have an account), especially if you work with teenagers every day! </h4>
So what is Instagram, exactly? It's a social media services where users can share photos they've taken and apply various filters and frames to make it look unique and artsy. Users can share their photos with followers on Instagram AND connect their Twitter and Facebook accounts to share their photos there as well. Like users on Twitter, Instagram-ers use "hashtags" (the pound symbol: #) <span class="st">to mark keywords or topics in a post and make it easy to find other posts that have that same hashtag. </span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span class="st">How can we use this in the library or classroom? </span></h4>
<span class="st"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(</span>Before you begin using this in the library or classroom, make sure you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of the social media service, as well as any privacy policie<span style="font-size: x-small;">s or filters </span></span></i><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">your school district or library may have in place.

If you're looking for more details about steampunk--what it is, some examples--<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> (gasp!) has a pretty nice overview.<br />
<br />
If we allow ourselves to judge a book by its cover, Steampunk books are
often easy to identify based on the book jacket. They usually have a
cover with a sci-fi / fantasy feel with lots of gears, clocks, and
technology. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some YA Steampunk books and series that have been published recently, although this is by no means a complete list:<br />

Looking to do something other than your usual Halloween displays?</h2>
<h3>
Here are two easy displays for October!</h3>
<br />
<h4>
Make a display by color.</h4>
I chose autumnal colors (red, yellow, orange) for this display. The books don't have to be from any certain genre or classification, so it's a good way to get some books on display that typically don't get as much attention as some of your favorites or the kids' usual checkouts. <br />

<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
"Time to Hit the Books" display.</h4>
Gather a variety of baseball books to arrange for a display during the World Series--fiction, non-fiction, biography, poetry, etc. This is also a great type of display if you have reluctant readers who are boys, since they often gravitate towards sports books when they "HAVE" to read!<br />
