We also always allow students borrow from the displays. I am happy when students
notice the display and want to borrow a book from it. Sometimes, a student will
ask me if there is another copy of a book on display that she may borrow, and I
always tell the kids, individually and during classes, that the displayed books are
there for the borrowing.
I either choose another book from the shelves or rearrange the books to fill in the
gap.
I print out copies of book covers and put them on my bulletin boards (both outside
and inside the libraries) to generate interest in books on the current theme.
