one year I simply sent out an email to all staff and asked who would like to
participate. then i took the digital camera and took pictures of them actually
reading the book and posted those photos on the bulletin board with a label with
the title/author on it.
this year, i used the FirstBook website:
http://www.firstbook.org/site/c.lwKYJ8NVJvF/b.674095/k.CC09/Home.htm
and copied the personal photos and blurbs of celebrities talking about the first
book that got them excited about reading, then went to Amazon/ebay/library catalogs
with photos, etc. and got photos of those books to include. i scattered those all
over the bulletin board, and included one for myself (it was Wizard of Oz for me!)
now i am encouraging staff to participate by writing a blurb about the book that
got them excited about reading and then i'll take their photo and include it as a
"celebrity".
