[LM_NET] HIT: March Madness display ideas

[Lori Manning <lorimanning1904@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

LMnetters,
I originally posted a query asking for help with a slogan for my March Madness 
basketball books display.  Thanks to all who responded.  The advice is listed 
below...

Saw your message on LM-Net and thought I'd tell you what I've done in the past.
The catch-phrase was "You Can't Miss With a Good  Book."  I found a basketball goal 
clip art and made it real big.  I had book jackets going into the goal from 
different directions.  I then got a copy of the March Madness bracket and made a 
poster of it and put it up.  I had some guys come in and fill in the brackets every 
time there was a game.  They loved it!  I loved it because I had groups of guys in 
the library.  Even if they weren't checking out books, at least they were being 
exposed to the book jackets!

 
I am planning to do a showcase with "March Madness - We are mad about Reading!"  I 
will have a nerf basketball hoop and basketballs along with book selections.
 
Not sure if you have anything better, but the standby slogan for March Madness has 
been over the years One Shining Moment.  There is a song that has been played at 
the end of every tournament that I can remember called One Shining Moment and they 
play it up quite a bit on CBS.  Just a thought
