[Michlib-l] National Library Week Ideas

[Winter, Donna]

Over a few weeks in February, our Adult Services Department wrapped books in brown wrapping paper and provided a brief description from the book on an attached tag so they were checking out a book knowing very little about it (no title or author)

We did a similar thing during our 25th anniversary at Civic Center Library. Those books were from donations so the patron got to keep the book they selected.

Subject: [Michlib-l] National Library Week Ideas

Hello everyone,

My library is planning for NLW and we are struggling to come up with creative ideas that our patrons would love.

Does anyone have awesome ideas for this year's theme (There's More to the Story), or did you have awesome ideas you would love to share from prior years?

Thank you in advance for the help.
