I do this as well, but also don't forget about digital displays! Videos
on your website, lists on your circulation OPAC, digital bookframes,
blogs etc...And those "stay put" while your books keep circulating. I
usually have up to four different displays in the library with different
themes. One display is favorite books for YA by YA...student aides are
in charge of that one. : )

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.

> This really isn't what I wanted to talk about first thing Monday
morning, but I just had maybe the fourth student come up and ask me if
they could take out the books in the display case. I politley told them
they couldn't, as I wouldn't have much of a display left, until the end
of the month, but that I would be happy to find them a book like it in
the library. Not one of them took me up on the offer and all were
grumpy. I spent a lot of time making the display case and just don't
have time to keep gathering books to fill it every time it empties! I
guess I'm glad they saw it anyway...
