ADVERTISING NEW BOOKS

I just wanted to share something with you that my clerk did this week.  We put 289 new books on the shelves, and we were having a hard time figuring out how to advertise some of them.  The E, everybody, fiction and graphic novels were easy.  All of the graphic novels were placed on the blue shelf.  All of my patrons know that the graphic novels are on the blue shelf.  The picture below shows how we displayed the new E fiction.

While I was pondering how to show our patrons where the new books were located, my clerk was in the work room cutting out shapes from the Ellison machine.  Then she went around the fiction and nonfiction sections and placed a tag on every shelf that contained a new book.  This made it easy for our patrons to locate them.  Great idea! Woohoo!
