Week 6 Prompt
A passive programming/book display our library can use is based off of a website I found (http://www.peaceporridge.com/the-blog/category/displays). It is called Book Crush. How this works is the library sets up a ballot box where people can write on paper hearts their favorite Romance books. They can write what they like about it and it can be totally anonymous. (It can work on any genres, but we will use Romance for this one). When the staff has enough hearts, they can pull out the books mentioned and stick them on the books on display so everyone can see what other people enjoy reading. It is a great way to display what patrons enjoy reading as well as convincing others to read that particular book from that particular genre.

Wow, I love this idea! As you mention, it can be adapted for any genre. Since I focused on Horror for this week's prompt, this would be a great idea for September and October to get people reading a spooky book that they might otherwise overlook. Sticking the book crush "notes" on the covers is eye-catching and would certainly draw attention. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really fun idea! My mind is going to all the different ideas for all the different genres. You could even do sub-genres such as: little ghosts for paranormal, knives or axes for serial killer/murder and creepy castles for haunted house books. I love this!
ReplyDeleteThat is what I had in mind for the other genres. I am glad you like this!
DeleteFantastic idea! Prompt is a little short, but you still get full points :)
