You know what I love about the library? Well, aside from all the books? The little sections our librarians set up! There are so many different ways these displays can be done!
When I walk into my favourite branch, the first thing I see are 2 rolling shelves with a big catchy sign on either side of each one. The titles are always different, and often times quite creative. Winter Blues was a heading a few weeks ago, with all of the books on that shelf either containing the word "Blue" in the title, or the cover itself was blue! I love seeing the creative titles for their displays.
My next move is always to head straight for the " Librarians Choice" section. I love to see what other people have read, and loved enough to recommend them to others. There is always such a variety in this section, often times books I never would have chosen for myself.
There are always a few different displays set up to check out. Always the holiday or special event of the month is a favourite, from "Books that Give us the Creeps" around Halloween, to "The Blush Factor" with romance novels displayed for Valentines Day. The most intimidating display, for me, is always the Fast Reads, 7 day borrowing limit books, meant to be read as quickly as possible. Maybe one day I'll give it a go! The favourite display, hands down, of every person who walks through the door, is the GIVEAWAY display! Each month, our library bundles together a variety of different books, from YA Fiction, to Cook Books, and even childrens picture books, and raffles them off. There is usually about 10 books in the bundle, and all you need is a library card number to enter! I've yet to win, but I'm still holding out hope!
I highly recommend going into your local library, and taking a look around. Each one is set up in its own special way, and the books you can discover, if you only take a second to look, could change your life! Talk to your librarians, check out the displays, read the lists posted about, try something new.
