We recently put up a book display that has books flying off of the shelves! Flying, I tell you! It seems that as soon as we fill it up, it is empty again.
Our “Pick Me! Pick Me!” display features colorful bookmarks with a handwritten message about each title. Sure, it is staff intensive to get those bookmarks finished, but it works. 
On the back of each bookmark it says “What do you think?” so kids can add their own comments before returning it with the book.
This display has been such a success that we thought you might like to know about it. What gets books moving at your library?

What a fantastic library display idea, and one that works! Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! I am going to start doing it today in my Children’s Room. Thanks for sharing.
OMG! That is so cute!!!! I love the personal notes on the back!
LOVE. Love, love, love.
Fantastic idea – do we have permission to recreate these for our library?
This is such a GREAT idea! I’m new to a grade school library. Do you make/print your own bookmarks for this? Would you be willing to share? Thank you for sharing the idea!!
Jan – I just sent you the printables in an email. Enjoy!

Thanks!
What an awesome idea! Please send me the poster and bookmark printables. Thanks!
I would love to use this idea for a display! The personal notes are a great touch! If you could send me the template it would be great! Thanks.
I pinned this display to one of my Pinterest boards and keep coming back to it because it is so memorable and eye-catching. I love it and want to set one up in my library for the first week of school. Today I just noticed you are sharing–I would be so grateful for a copy!
I would love the printables also
this is such a great idea! Also… I LOVED ‘When You Reach Me’!!! 
thanks so much for sharing!
hi Heather
i straight away loved the bookmarks. could you please send me the printables so i can use them in my school library. i am sure the children will love them. thanks a lot for sharing.
I love this! Will you please email me the printable sign and bookmarks? I really think that my middle school kids would go for this. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea!
I love this idea. I would also love to have the pattern or whatever you used for the bookmarks. I am always trying to find free/cheap ways to get bookmarks into the hands of my students. As the librarian for a small school, I have almost no money to spend on bookmarks! Thanks.
Just looking for some display ideas and saw these. They are attractive, attention-getting, and perfect for motivating kids to both select books and evaluate them for others. What a wonderful idea. If you are still sharing the poster and bookmark printables, I would love to receive them. Thank you for your generosity.
Can I please have a copy of the printables? Great idea!!
I also would love a copy of the printables – do add a link here if you’re willing to sell on Scribd for $1 or something!
I would love to have a copy of the printables also. I manage a Pre-K – 6th grade Library
Always looking for new ideas for book circulation! Thank You!
I love the posters and bookmarks, too. Will you share?
Heather, I love this vibrant display! A great way to promote the collection. Could you please send me a copy of your templates? Many thanks : )
Hi! I work in a school library and would love your printable bookmark and display sign as well, if you wouldn’t mind emailing it to me. I work in a grade 5 and 6 school library and this would be perfect for generating interest among the kids! Thanks for the idea!
I would love to use these in my classroom library and I know our media specialist would love them!!!
