[LM_NET] TARGET: How do you PROMOTE book titles to students?

[Karen & Chris Potter <potters@TELPAGE.NET>]

I had such a great response to my TARGET about letting teachers know about
new books, I thought I'd try again with a new question. I have found that my
students are much more likely to check out books that are displayed face
front, so I have books displayed in every conceivable place INSIDE the
library. My question is: Are you successfully using other methods of
displaying books that encourage the children to check them out? One thing we
are doing that corresponds to the AMERICAN theme we are using this year is
that I printed an oversized picture of the Statue of Liberty and hung it in
the hallway.I periodically change the book she is holding with the scanned
cover of a book from the library. What other ways are you using in the
hallways, in the classrooms, etc. to PROMOTE books to the children?
