In many cultures around the world there have been stories about dragons. They may be described in many different ways however one of the common themes are their large reptilian bodies and their feathered or scalded skin. Much of the time these dragons breathe fire, can fly and guard something of value such as knowledge or treasure - having supernatural strength and powers. With dragons previously being one of the most popular trends in children's books, I decided to use dragons as the focus of one of the displays in the library and ran a competition which provided the students with the opportunity to explore various types of dragon based literature. Overall the display was a great success having engaged and exposed a large cohort of students to a fantasy genre they may not have thought of reading before. What is even more pleasing, is that the lovely dragon which was created for the display in still in place keeping watch over the upper campus library to this day.
