Bookstore Touches

There are some obvious differences between libraries and bookstores.  In a library, students have thousands of books at their fingertips that they can take home for free...as long as they bring them back.  At a bookstore, the book is yours to keep forever...if you pay for it.  That doesn't mean libraries can't learn a thing or two from bookstores!  For instance, libraries can take a cue from snazzy book displays featuring crisp new books and recommendations.  That's what we've tried to do at Overbrook, so the next time you're here, take a look at some of these books in the limelight.
Some of our new early readers and picture books.
I actually bought these displays from Borders!
Upper library:  "Cool Books for Cool Dudes."
