    Beth from Shaler library just reached out and asked if we’d like to fill a display case. She has September or October available.

    1) is there interest?
    2) preference on month?

    I’m thinking September since we have a lot of October events, but open to whatever the group decides.

    I’d like to get back to her by Monday so just let me know either way. Thanks!

    Additional information from Beth:

    Well September is Love Your Library Month in Allegheny County (we get a partial match on fundraising) so that will be everywhere in the library. But honestly I’d just be happy to fill the case as I have two open in September. I can always put in books, etc. but like to have at least 1-2 outside groups when I can. If you guys have a theme that’s cool but not necessary for us!

    October is a no for me but can probably do something for September

    Any other takers? All are welcome but I’m tagging the northerners since it’s in our backyard: @rcgrier3406, @legoleia51, @kacierno, @jrosie, @bengood921, @skippermike, @tfdesigns, @mrmain18, @cybladez101, @timf, @ethang944, @octankragle14

    I believe @randomdan and @schaup also displayed there last time too.

    Feel free to tag anyone I missed too.

    I have to submit an application to display and need to do it quick if we want September.

    I’ll display- is there a specific theme or can we pick any build? Thanks for including me!

    I probably won’t be able to assist with the build, but I’d be glad to help with the install

    Thanks all! I’ll reach out to Beth and let her know.


    @jrosie
    No theme. Whatever you’d like to bring.


    @ethang944
    Sounds good! For this display it’s anything goes so sets are welcome.

    Thanks! I’m looking forward to being part of the display. I have 2 ideas of builds and will pick 1 to put on 1 standard gray baseplate to display.

    Hi all! I just submitted the paperwork for September. We’re looking at an install date of Sept 3. They’re open until 8 PM that day so thinking like 5:30 pm, unless anyone has a preference.

    Hi Krista,

    Tuesday evening I cannot meet. I have a commitment after school. Is the library open Monday? Could I drop something off then?

    Thanks,
    Jade

    @jade unfortunately they’re closed on Monday due to the holiday. We can leave some space for you, and let the library know that you’re bringing it later if that works.

    Krista,

    If I put my build on a gray base plate (it’s 15inx15in) will that fit in the display? I could drop it off the following day, Wednesday after school at the Shaler library and fit it wherever you leave an open square. I was going to do a space build.

    I’ll plan to bring some spacey stuff. I can see if @dansboss has anything as well.

    I’m sure I can come up with something to add. Looking at what’s on my shelves, there’s a Quidditch Pitch that hasn’t been out on display for a while!!

    My build is 13.5 long and 10.5 wide ( a little over 1 regular base plate). Thanks for leaving room. I just finished it. I will take it weds sept 4 right afterschool since the library is in my school district.

    If the theme is “anything goes” I would like to display the tensegrity whale breaching.

    Here’s what I’m planning to bring for this display. It’s 2 baseplates wide by about 15″ tall. Looking at the pictures from last year, I know it will at least fit on the top shelf, if not any of them.

    I also have a base plate display of kids playing in a leaf pile.

    I’ll take mine on Wednesday after school. It is 10.5 x 13.5 inches on 2 baseplates. Can’t wait to see the display.

    Display is in and looks great! Thanks everyone for coming tonight.


    @jrosie
    I did let them know you’d be putting yours in tomorrow. Can you snap a few pictures once everything is in? Thanks!


    @tcsbgdady
    We did put a few of your pieces in too.

    Additional pics from last night’s set-up have been uploaded to the Gallery. To view them, click on the “Gallery” tab at the top right corner of any page, and then click on the “2024-09 Shaler Library” folder.


    @jrosie
    , once you’ve added your build to the display today, please take an overall shot like this one and a close-up of your MOC so I can add them to this Gallery folder. Thanks!!

    I heard back from Beth. She loved the case! She also said that Tuesday the 1st shouldn’t be a problem.
