This course will give library displays some new bite! You will develop skills in targeting audiences and understanding reader motivations to support successful displays which engage more deeply than the standard seasonal themes. Working across collection areas and age groups, you will explore how to use display to find readers for less well-known books in your collection to take the pressure off those wait lists.
