An Innovative Way to Promote Romance Books at the Public Library

 

Dear Manager,

I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across two librarians display to promote romance books. With your permission, I would like to create displays similar to these. Hartman’s display is for the patrons who may not have a significant other at the moment. While Kinkley’s display is fun and intriguing. I have left over plain red wrapping paper from the Christmas display that I could use to wrap the books.

Thanks for your input,

Jennifer Miller

    Love the appeal of using leftover supplies as a way to convince your manager. Gotta love reusing stuff! :) I also like the love gone wrong display, as you said, not everyone wants to read a happy love story so that could potentially appeal to a wider audience. I saw a display somewhere that was "love stories for cynics"...seems like that one would pair well with yours as well!

    Hello! These are some great ideas. Blind date with a book is a really popular one at my library. We're actually just finishing that one up. This year. we chose to focus on all different kinds of "romance" from traditional to obsessive, LGBTQ, unconventional stories, and even some spicy titles.

    These are both good ideas, but your response to this prompt is definitely on the short side.

My Book Club Experience

  My neighbor Jolene hosts a monthly book club meeting for the ladies in our neighborhood. When I told her I needed to find a book club for this assignment she invited me to her Thursday night meeting. This month’s pick is Killing Floor by Lee Child. The book was first published in 1997. I asked her why she chose an old book from the late nineties. Jolene explained that the group loved mysteries. Also, this book series was made into a tv show on Prime +. The group likes to read tv series books, then watch the show and compare. Luckily, I read this book a long time ago, so I was already prepared for the meeting.                 A total of seven ladies showed up, myself included. Jolene had a lovely spread of crackers, cheese, vegetables, dips, and cookies for everyone to enjoy. Everyone got their plates and sat down. Jolene began the meeting by asking if everyone had finished the book. Everyone nodded in agreement. The first question of the night was How would you describe the main c

Reading Profile

 I like to read just about anything. If I had to pick a genre, I would say that mystery is my favorite. In the book Reader Advisory's Guide to Genre, quite a few mystery books also can be described as Adrenaline books. To quote: "Adrenaline describes fast-paced novels designed to quickly capture and sustain reader interest through action filled plots and tense atmospheres." (pg. 3). I agree with this description. My favorite books by Janet Evanovich are her Stephanie Plum novels. The plot moves very fast and they are the type of books that keep me up at night instead of going to sleep.  I also like to read romance novels. Happy endings are my favorite. For a little extra spice, Connie Mason books describe intimate details very clearly. Nora Roberts can get a little spicy too. I've started reading Lucy Score books recently as they are free on Kindle Unlimited. She isn't as graphic with intimate details as the others, but her books have interesting plots just the sa

Secret Shopper

  Secret Shopper                 My husband had an unexpected two-hour lunch break on his Saturday shift, so he asked me to come over and visit him. The public library is just down the road from his work, so I suggested we visit to do this secret shopper assignment. His favorite author is Sarah Maas. She is a young adult sci-fiction genre writer. He has been complaining recently that he can’t find anything else to read that interests him. He did not like any of my suggestions, so I thought he would be the perfect guinea pig for this assignment.                 We approach the front desk, and the library staff member greets us. My husband asks her: “Do have any books similar to Sarah Maas books?”   She looked a bit confused and asked him to spell the author’s last name. She stated that Sarah Maas was located in the young adult section. She suggested he browse through that area to find similar books. She walked us over there and explained these two aisles were dedicated to young adul
