Listen, read or watch…
Romance is for everyone!!!
For the month of February, I would like to promote the romance
collection with an integrated advisory display of romance film adaptations. As
the adult collection manager, I will oversee the selection of material and generate
lists of materials to be used. The library’s main display unit is a
freestanding, four shelved structure. It has a sign on top which will display
the name “Listen, read or watch… Romance is for everyone!!!”; there will also be hearts used to decorate the display. The display will be used for all formats of an item; audiobooks,
graphic novels, movies, music soundtracks and books will all be utilized to
fill the display.
Bookmarks titled, “Before they were movies” will be designed
and available at the circulation desk and on the display with general library film adaptation
material listed. It would also be fun for the books clubs to read a book that
has had a film adaptation made and possibly watch it together after the
discussion. In the event that the display is circulating out of “romance” replacement
options, I would like it fill it with film adaptation material from all genres
and simply use “Listen, read or watch!!!” I think this will be a popular
display and I will monitor it and change the direction of it if necessary.
I like that you are wanting to incorporate all types of materials. Audio-books and other types can be under looked sometimes so this is an interesting way to promote that as well. I don't think that I have seen any inclusion of a book club before. I think that that is a great idea. It is a cool way to get patrons to help get the word out, plus who doesn't love a good book movie combo.
