[Publib] Marketing Nonfiction

[Kathryn Knight]

Hello Publibbers,

I wondered: what have you found to be successful with regard to marketing
non-fiction to your patrons?  And, if your answer is "displays," what about
them is particularly alluring (clever graphics, book topics, free food, go
go dancers...)?

I'm especially interested in what small libraries are doing (physically
small: my library is approx. 9,000 square feet and averages about 60-70,000
books circulated monthly)---that doesn't mean I don't care what the larger
libraries are doing to promote their nonfiction, but I am curious as to what
the seriously space-constrained are doing in terms of collection marketing.

Looking forward to any and all suggestions, anecdotes, etc.

Thank you all!
