A few years ago, one of my colleagues in serials created a lovely mobile out of old CDs and microfilm reels to hang in the tent.........it went along with whatever the theme was that year. On a different note, staff in our microforms area have used burned out bulbs from micro readers to decorate small christmas trees at the service desk. Turned upside-down they look like silver bells. Just tie them on with a red bow. Cheers! Carol D.

I put a cd at the base of a plant, you can either cut it with heavy duty scissors or just lay it next to the stem. It seems to frighten off some of the bugs that attack my nasturtiums and was very sucessful at keeping squash vine borers away. Several cds also scared off the groundhog who was munching on my purple peacock pole beans, I had hung the cds from strings down the center of the tepee. I have not studied this in a scientific manner but this past summer I did notice a difference between before and after the cds were placed around the plants. Cheerio!
