I got a great question from Shelly in Eau Claire this week. She's looking for fun ways to showcase the books in her collection--innovative or interesting book displays that will grab the attention of people already in the library and encourage them to explore books (and do impulse check-outs!).
In digging around a little, I found a few good resources. I would love to feature some great book displays you've done in this blog, too. People love to see (and borrow from) other people's ideas! Please send in a photo of a favorite book display and I'll put it in the blog.
Here are the resources I found that I thought were helpful:
So Tomorrow is one of my favorite youth services blogs, and this is a collection of display ideas
Our own Kathy Larson from Bloomer has posted some of her book display ideas on her fabulous blog, From the Short Stacks.
We have a relatively recent book
in our professional collection (available on MORE) called DIY Programming
and Book Displays by Wisconsinites Amanda Moss Struckmeyer and Svetha Hetzler.
