Celebrating National Library Lovers’ Month:
Maximize Accessibility to Keep Patrons Reading
by Travis Corter, Brodart Copywriter
A Reason to Celebrate
February is National Library Lovers’ Month, offering patrons a special chance to show their appreciation for the many ways in which libraries offer key support each and every day. This is the perfect time for librarians and library staff to reciprocate the sentiment by ensuring a smooth experience, from book-browsing to checkout.
Book Supports
There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of perusing a row of cleanly displayed books, each spine clearly visible, with every title in its proper place. Book supports are often the unsung heroes that keep collections clean and provide a calming sense of order. As readers cycle in and out of your space, make sure you have all the support you need—stock up with Brodart’s month-long book support sale.
Book Trucks
Preparing books for recirculation can quickly become overwhelming. Keep patrons browsing and keep the books flowing with book trucks. A well-organized book truck can enhance the library experience by minimizing the time needed to move a book from the book return to the shelf, where it will await its next eager borrower. A good book truck makes life easier. Enhance your space and keep things moving during Brodart’s February book truck sale—get started here.
Share the Love
Patrons aren’t the only ones who can share their appreciation during National Library Lovers’ Month. There are plenty of ways for librarians to join in the fun. A memory board could highlight library staff members’ favorite recollections of first trips to the library. You could even turn the concept around, celebrating the patrons who keep libraries thriving, with a Library Patron Celebration; this could include bookish snacks, bookmarks, recommendations, and even crafts.
Thank You
As fierce library lovers ourselves, we offer our gratitude to the library workers who provide crucial access and resources to all who walk through their doors. Your commitment helps make this world a brighter place.
