Getting adults engaged in Children’s Book Week October 26, 2006

Posted by sneaks in display topics, Fall, J is for Juvenile, winter, YA.

One way to encourage family reading is to welcome parents and caregivers into the rich world of children’s fiction. As we know, children’s fiction can be just as gripping as the best adult fiction – in fact, it’s usually faster-paced and threaded with more humor.

Plenty of adults read Harry Potter – you might suggest A Series of Unfortunate Events for those readers. Also, adult authors such as Gregory MacGuire, Neil Gaiman, Meg Cabot, and Carl Hiaasen write books for kids and young adults too.

Other read-with-your-kid author and book suggestions might include: Other J authors whose books appeal to adults include: Christopher Paul Curtis, E.L. Konigsberg, Suzanne Collins, Susan Cooper, Jane Yolen, Kathe Koja, Patricia Reilly Giff

TV in the library October 7, 2006

Posted by sneaks in DVDs. Have you thought about gathering all your TV DVDs in one place, as Cockeysville has? If a patron has ever sent you in search of, for example, Season 3, volume 2 of the Sopranos, you know how frustrating the search can be.

If they’re all in one place, it’s easier to keep all the DVDs from a particular show grouped together. Not to mention, the long rows of similar spines are eye-catching.

If you’re planning a display for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, round out your selections from 616.9944 and 362.1969 with some biographies of cancer survivors such as Jerri Nielsen, Lynn Redgrave,  Ernestine Bradley, Geralyn Lucas.

And keep Cancer vixen: a true story by Maris Acocella Marchetto on that display; also, Celebrity scarves 2, by Abra Edelman, published by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade. A graphic novel and a celebrity crafts book, both about breast cancer… and why not?
