Despite our great Tarver librarians' efforts, I see a lack of non-fiction on this list, but great creative nonfiction makes the world go (World is Flat, anyone?). Perhaps we could get a section within the new books area of the library marked "contemporary issues and events" that would really pop when people showed up and give them the latest deep thinking on issue affecting society. Similar to the popular fiction section.
This is an interesting idea! Give us some time to think about how we might want to highlight some of the "... latest deep thinking on issues affecting society" resources that we do offer. We don't want to create too many locations making it difficult to find books, but I'm sure we'll come up with something.
Stay tuned, since we will want to "hear" from you to recommend those titles that we can highlight in this area.
I'm thinking just the top shelf of the new books section in front of the window, that way they are still in the right area (I'm assuming most will be new books) and it's essentially an open space.
What a great and easy idea! We use that space to display new books anyway. I'll work with a colleague on a different sign to introduce these and then select the first group to display.
I'll also let our library staff know that the shelf under the window is for those types of titles. We'll keep an eye on it, but we won't guarantee that something else doesn't migrate that way...
thanks!
