Ideas from the attendees of Celebrate the Book 2013

  • Edgar Allan Poe trivia posted on Facebook from Olathe Public Library.
  • Max Brooks author visit inspired a zombie survival game using landmarks in Lawrence, KS from Lawrence Public Library.
  • Monthly Mystery date--wrap books and give away in a contest.
  • Post pictures of contest prizes to encourage participation--Lawrence Public Library posted photos of pint glasses and coffee mugs as part of their most current promotion.
  • Pinterest: Heather Braum at NEKLS is using it to promote the Professional Collection at NEKLS
  • Johnson County Library is using Pinterest to highlight books and library activities on a board called LADEda: http://www.pinterest.com/laandde/
  • Goodreads: It was suggested that book discussion posts on Goodreads will generate more conversation if they are tied to regularly scheduled book groups in the library.
