What I'm reading now...
Yesterday I saw a great way to promote specific titles and reading in general. Becky Melancon read found this tip in Library Journal and worked with Kate Hudson in Reference to put it into action. It's a clear plastic badge holder, attached to our name tag, that holds a card that says:
What I'm reading now... Next to that is image of the book jacket of the book the staff member is reading. I was excited and Kate was kind enough to make one for me. I'm wearing it now and I've been on a mission in the last 24 hours to spread the news.
I think this is great! It may be a little hard to visualize, but if you visit Main you can see staff members in Reference wearing this and soon, I think, in other departments across the building. It could be expanded to be What I'm watching now..., or What I'm listening to now...
I think this is most definitely an idea worth spreading, so let me know if you are interested in more details. And, what are you reading now??

What a great idea!
I love this idea! I shared it at the Children's Services meeting Wednesday and even made a few more inserts for other books. So simple and so effective.
