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

Tidbits From My Special Topic Paper

  Do Celebrity Book Clubs Help or Hurt the Public Library?                 How popular are celebrity book club books in the public library? Jessica Hilburn a librarian in rural Pennsylvania had the same burning question. She has a small purchase budget for new materials. She has struggled between demand driven acquisition or more intellectual quality material. Should she spend her meager budget on celebrity book club books? She decided the best way to make this difficult decision is to survey her fellow librarians. She created a survey that focused on whether the librarian’s main acquisition for fiction were celebrity book club books. Twenty-four librarians responded and the answer was surprising. Only half paid any attention to popular culture and celebrity book clubs. The other half that did focus on celebrities, Reese Witherspoon was the clear winner in popularity. Jenna Bush was second and poor Oprah was at the bottom in third. “Although celebrity book clubs and popular culture w
