Merchandising Made Simple Reviews

This beginner's manual will help library staff learn how to create appealing displays with simple and inexpensive materials to promote their library's collection and increase circulation. The text reveals the trade secrets of displays, discusses how to understand library users, covers display locations, and shows how to build and maintain them. The final chapter is devoted to display ideas. Photographs abound throughout and illustrate the concepts being explained. Assignments at the end of each chapter reinforce those concepts. End notes list further reading for specific topics....Recommended for public librarians new to merchandising. - Library Journal
The authors of this useful book compare libraries to retail stores and suggest that libraries would do well to market the merchandise housed within their walls...I am very excited about the authors' ideas and cannon wait to try some of them. If you are looking for ways to get more books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials into the hands of your staff and students, this book will make and excellent addition to your professional materials. - Library Media Connection
Libraries looking to increase circulation and connect teens and books will find this reference useful. - VOYA
LaPerriere and Christiansen have-in a slim, readable volume-supported the contention that libraries can effectively market their collections with simple, effective, practical, and affordable merchandising techniques. This book is an essential addition for enhancing any library's professional collection. - Reference & User Services Quarterly
