I took a portion of the new books and put them on the "back book display." This is where I put most of our bigger displays. We want to see if the books go faster from the back display as opposed to the New Books display that the students see as they walk into the library.
I've been creating informal tally sheets for each display to keep track of which books are checked out from each display. I've done the same thing for this "display race." Both displays have some pretty spectacular new books, so I hope a lot of books get checked out.
WHO WILL WIN???
VS.
For the back display, I did create some signage, so students would know what was up. I even decided to use some Snoopy, because new acquisitions always make me want to do my happy dance. Winning.
Finally, our awesome library technician, Paul, came up with some great yellow tags to put in each new book to flag it for students.
Students here at Uni work so hard in their classes, but several do come in to check out books for pleasure reading. A lot of them tend to check out the same authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore. All are fantastic, but I hope all of this teamwork to push the new books works, because they are awesome and deserve to be read, too!
