Displays
“Come on, Barbie. Let’s go party!” Our staff is psyched for the upcoming Barbie movie being released on July 21st. We had so much fun putting together a special Barbie-themed display full of pink books and women’s empowerment stories. The display also includes books on the history of the Barbie doll and children’s books of Barbie stories. Check out anything from the display and get hyped for the new movie with us!
