Holidays at Your Library

A busy time for all, but it might be a good time to try a few creative things in your library to entice new customers. I've seen some interesting promotional ideas recently that tie to the holidays. Here are just a few ideas - if you have others, please share.

• Special book displays about holidays in other countries.
• Favorite recipes from the staff - tied to a display of cookbooks.
• Special hours for students studying for exams, offering refreshments.
• Holiday gift ideas - books that make great presents
• Teens having a virtual holiday celebration - sharing ideas of what to do over the holiday, tie in to the library's facebook page
• Highlight travel books for those travelling over the holidays
• Information on databases that provide consumer reviews for gift buying
• Suggested books for parents to share with their children
• Highlight the PBS series on NC LIVE - great for watching over the holidays.
