In order to promote the circulation of romance novels at the library, I would like to create an eye catching display on an end cap near the front entrance. It is the season of romance with Valentine’s Day upon us and a well done display could encourage patrons to check out a book about love, lust, and more. “Book displays are the most effective way to recommend books. Standing books up on a lower table is boring and suggests that books are insignificant. Effective displays will recommend the books by being located where the display will be seen; will attract the eye with color and signage and making the books important” (Rippel). The display will have a brightly colored background in pinks, purples, and reds in order to catch attention. Decorative lettering will be used to create a sign stating “Fall in Love with a Good Book”. The display will feature a variety of romance books displayed both on shelves attached to the end cap and a small table placed against it. The end cap will also have a list of suggested romance novels to provide passive readers’ advisory to individuals looking for a romance to take home and enjoy.
