Displays, Various Libraries

I love to grab readers' attention through creative displays. This is an example of a display I created in the fiction section of the Central branch of The Seattle Public Library. Several patrons asked me for romance novels based upon how much sex they include, wanting something either very steamy or something with no explicit sex. However, romance is usually sorted by setting, such as Regency or Western. To address the desire for romance-by-spice, I created this “Spice Up Your Reading” display, which sorted romance novels into mild (bottom shelf), moderate (middle shelf), and hot (top shelf). It stayed up for a month and enjoyed significant popularity.
I also created an accompanying booklist and posted it to the adult services blog. I believe that complementary physical and digital resources offer the best possible user experience on several fronts. Read the booklist here.
