Week six prompt

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.

  1. 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.
