With a bit of guidance, it is easy to create arrays of books and media that will surprise and delight patrons-even in the face of budgetary, space, and other practical constraints. \u003ci\u003eBetter Displays, Today\u003c\/i\u003e is a pragmatic manual for staff at all types of libraries and cultural institutions. In it, Faithe Miller Lakowicz leverages expertise honed from years curating museum exhibits to explore tips and tactics for improving the way that books are “exhibited” for library patrons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook displays are more than a simple tool for passive readers' advisory. A well-crafted display captures patrons' attention, sparks imagination, increases circulation, and sends subtle (or not-so-subtle) messages about an institution's values and culture. The tactics in this book will help the staff at libraries and cultural repositories learn to select more diverse themes and materials, to keep displays accessible to a variety of patrons, and to craft the desired “voice” for their business or department. Learn to meet patrons where they are and use displays to make them feel even more welcome, curious, and enthusiastic about their library, museum, or archives experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFaithe Miller Lakowicz\u003c\/b\u003e is the Circulation Supervisor at the Concord (NH) Public Library, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Libraries Unlimited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216467946\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515391869068,"sku":"9798216467946","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a9593081-6ffb-4c16-ad02-e9df717680df.jpg?v=1784693584","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9798216467946","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
