Book Store Display

I have setup displays for my young patrons grouping certain nonfiction books together on the windowsill, or on top of bookcases. I have an American Girl section of nonfiction books beside a wire rack display of the fiction American Girl books. The girls love these books (babysitting, money, school smarts, feelings, etc.) and gravitate to them because they are American Girl more so than looking for a particular subject. The books also tend to be thin paperbacks, which makes it all the more difficult to see on the shelf.

Another display is all the 'ology' books, Dragonology, Pirateology, Egyptology, etc., which are otherwise scattered around nonfiction due to subject.

These books circulate a lot more, now - the goal.

Note: these are only displays of books, no changes to the cataloging. In fact, there is a bulletin board with the Dewey numbers of commonly searched for books, in case they do get put back on the shelf. The kids can find them, it just takes longer.
