Displays That Do More: Passive Programming with Book Displays

 

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST
 

Readers Advisory is one important thing that a well-done book display can accomplish. They can market your collection, programs, and services. But a book display can do more – it can be passive programming which will allow a library to increase their programming in a way that maximizes staff time.  

 

Join Passive Readers’ Advisory expert Lila Denning for an hour of all the ways that you can leverage your book displays to provide programming to patrons of all ages. You will learn how to combine physical and digital materials with interactive features to draw in visitors to your library. She will also show you how to design these displays and replicate the idea online, where possible.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Understand the basic features of book displays as passive readers advisory and what defines a passive program.
  • Identify best practices for creating a well-designed book display with interactive features.
  • Discover how you can tie together in-library passive programming with book displays to your online efforts and active programming. 
  • Learn where to find ideas to inspire your passive programming efforts.
