They have dozens more themes like Tune in @ your library and Explore your dreams @ your library. This is mostly used with the young adult and teen literature. I get alagraphics magazine through my ALA membership. The summer 2008 issue has all kinds of posters and bookmarks for sale.
These are some of my favorites:
If you've never read Unshelved, I strongly suggest you give it a try. It's funny to everyone, not just witty librarians ;-)
I'm a huge fan of X-men and this poster "speaks" to me.
Anyway, the summer programs are in full swing. We had our henna tattoo workshop last week and it went really well with 20 in attendance--that's the most I've had at any event since I started them in January. We have one this month where we re-design boring T-shirts with cool retro stencils--I'm more excited about that one than the kids I think. Our last will be a theater makeup workshop. I spent a good part of my high school years, and a couple in college, involved in drama and I think this will be really enjoyable for everyone.
In other news, I saw the latest Indiana Jones installment and enjoyed it's foolishness. I also watched The Jane Austen Book Club which was surprisingly interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love Jane Austen's books but I've never been in a book club (I know, shocking) and I didn't really think it would grab my attention. Jane Austen in the title is the only reason why I requested it on Netflix. I'm currently reading Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson. It's subtitled as The Prequel to Anne of Green Gables. That's Anne spelled with an 'e'--if you've read the book you'll get my poor joke. This has been such a joy to read. I loved Anne of Green Gables. Wilson writes it as if she was the writer of the original series. The author of Scarlett could learn a thing or two from ol' Budge.

I loved the prequeal! I read it when it came out earlier this summer. I was almost tempted to reread all the Anne books but was distracted by all the new stuff that was rolling in. Try Outside Beauty by Cynthia Kadohata
