Library displays: Blind date with a book.
I love this display idea. (In the unlikely event that you're unfamiliar with it, it's very simple: wrap books up (covering any identifying marks!) and attach descriptive personal ads to them.
Here are a few examples:
- Lauren the Librarian: "Basically, patrons can choose any book they’d like to check out based on the book’s dating profile. (Yes, we created individual Match.com-type dating profiles for each book)."
- The Savvy Reader has a whole bunch of book profiles listed, like: "It's the age of the geek, baby. I've turned my gaming into a career of sorts, if you can call trying to win WWIII a career. I'm a super-human war machine…of love. Do you think you have what it takes?" Ahahahahaha!
- I like the design that Wrapped Up in Books chose for her wrapping, and LOVED that she noted: "It doesn’t even have to be a February display, it would work for any time of year."
- This library includes 'Rate Your Date' slips and completed slips are entered into a drawing for chocolate-covered strawberries.
Anyway, you get the idea, I'm sure!
