Lead the Change: Increase Circulation in the Stacks

Author Name: Elizabeth Sell
Library System: Allegany County Library Systems

Top 3 things learned:

  • What a 'Walking Path" is and how to set it up in your library.
  • Made a 'Display Plan' for my library.
  • What a 'Shelf Talker' is and how they can be helpful.

How to implement:
We discussed how just changing where you put things in the library can pull patrons further in which in turn can boost circulation. Changing book displays more often can help patrons find things of interest which they may not have seen otherwise. Placing 'Shelf talkers' in stacks , which can be used to promote read-alikes, give patrons little blurbs using appeal terms to create interest.
