We're very excited about the new title we're working on: Successful library displays. The book is going to be arranged according to the calendar, and will highlight key events through the year such as Valentine's Day, Shakespeare's birthday, International Women's Day and even Crufts.

The idea is to create eye-catching displays to promote reading. (We're not thinking of anything as ambitious as the British Library's book sculpture!)



The project is well under way but if anyone has an idea for a good display linked to a particular event (or a good general display idea) then we'd love to hear it!

Displays that change regularly are a great way of bringing in new users and raising the profile of the library. But it's finding the inspiration and practical ideas that's the key to success. If we use someone's idea(s) they'll not only see their name in print but also receive a free copy of the resource.

If you have photos of a display that you'd like to share with other librarians, then we'd be happy to showcase them on the web. Email us.
