Library Lovers Day activities
Mar 11 2008, 11:54 PM EDT | Post edited: Mar 11 2008, 11:54 PM EDT
For one of our Libraries Library lovers Day activiites we wrapped mystery books and invited customers to have a "date with a mystery book". Feedback from a customer last week, was that the lovely book we choose was beautiful and that it 'made her day" becuase ti was such a lovely surprise.
Made all the hard work preparing the display worthwhile.
RM Do you find this valuable?

Last year we did the blind date with a book idea and asked our customers to "rate their date" with a heart rating from loved it to hated it... then there was space for a comment. Most people thought it was good fun, a couple even said they enjoyed reading something they wouldn't have chosen themselves. Some people hated their books, but's that's OK too - it's all part of the fun. Do you find this valuable?

Second year running we decided to toned down the romantic aspect of blind date with a book, so it can appeal to men as well. We used a coffee theme and unfortunately the numbers were down from last year, disappointing!

Will be doing it again, but really need to find out why it's not as popular. It always generated a lot of interest, the displays were always well presented but.....I don't know. Will need to investigate. Do you find this valuable?
