Library Lovers DayThis is a featured page

Celebrating Readers and Reading on February 14th

Please add your ideas to this list!

Book Blind Date (wrap books in brown paper, write a blurb for the book on the package and let customers choose based on the descriptions, without knowing what the books is!)

Speed Read Dating (a mini book club where people sit and talk one on one about what they are reading)

Genre Living Library (recruit your most passionate genre readers to sit and talk to members of the public about their reading tastes - eg, have Living Books who are a 'Science Fiction Reader' or a 'Romance Reader' etc.)

Book marks - use "love" slogans... the cornier the better. They can be cheaply produced...white paper, lots of red hearts and a laminating machine. (or make some humorous anti-love ones for the cynics)



Check out some great ideas from last year's Library Lovers Day on flickr.

At Coffs Harbour Library we will be having a Free Sausage Sizzle to Celebrate Library Lovers Day. We will have our specially designed "Library Lover Drink Holders" on sale as well as other merchandies including ALIA reading Journals and Southern Scene china mugs. Anyone using their library card, joining the library or renewing their membership on the day will receive a free library bag.
We will also have orientation tours of the library throughout the day, and staff on hand to promote the library service, including promotion of the Readers Advisory tools we use to assist people with their reading choices.
Our branch libraries at Toormina & Woolgoolga will have "coffee & Cake" and our wonderful volunteers will be on hand to assist.
... and of course, we will be well "red" on the day.
Do you find this valuable?
