Gere display featuring “Pi Day”-math and physics-themed books …..and a great sign
…or, just pick a subject that will have broad appeal !
Chocolate at BMPL-what’s not to like ?
Choose books with strongly graphic covers
Could you tell what the display is about….
even if there were NO signs ?
Base a display on color…
Check out this rainbow display at Gere.
This theme is easy to identify….
Book covers, art and die-cuts all combine for maximum impact-Walt’s “Fire Safety” display is HOT !
Make the most out of designated display areas
Walt’s Holiday display-work that space, people !
Displays can promote genres

R.I.P. Tony Hillerman, at BMPL
Sometimes, we make BIG changes…
Bethany’s new look –lots of face-out displays and open sight-lines- yay !
We wanted to increase magazine use at Eiseley, so…..
We grouped our current issues by subject
We placed some back issues in the stacks, by
subject We grouped other back issues in a more
visible and high-traffic area We used eye-catching labels on the files
holding the back issues
Eiseley’s current magazines, by subject :

WHY ???? Item 6.2 in the Strategic Plan Goals :
”Annually, the circulation of adult
magazines will be at least 50,000.”
Eiseley periodicals need to “pull their
weight” in our collection.
Placing non-fiction books and magazines
together can strengthen the circulation of
both.
