Nice CTLS folks- Here are a few funny ways to get those Nancy Drew books to circulate - or any other book for that matter. Please take with a grain of salt. Suzan Nyfeler Youth Services Specialist Central Texas Library System 512.583.0704 x17 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:21:31 -0800 (PST) From: Arnold Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [Publib] Help! -Creating Buzz for Books To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Problem: What do I do with all the Hardy Boys and the Nancy Drew? They don't check out but once or twice a year and we have a lot of shelf space devoted to them. Is there a way to interest kids? Do I discard them by pub date? Kathleen McCorkle The Solution: Create Buzz for Books Create a series of 1 page handouts on the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew books. The handouts should be fun and nonsensical. They will hopefully bring attention to the books. Here are some samples that I created. Modify as needed.
