I Scream for Ice Cream! Everybody loves food -- and books about food can be just as yummy. Here are some ideas for promoting cookbooks
and cooking in your library. In the U.S., July is Ice Cream Month. Also, in case you missed Pi Day in March, July 22 is Alternative Pi Day (22 รท 7 has the same first three digits as pi -- 3.14). Besides favorite desserts, in the northern hemisphere it's picnic and cook-out season. And food is important year round, so if it's midwinter in your part of the world, consider promoting food writing and recipe books that represent your regional traditions. |
LibraryAware users can also take advantage of cooking program templates designed to help you get started with some of the programs that were discussed. Search the flyer-event section for "cooking" to see them all.
(Psst -- you can get a CE certificate for watching the program.) Whet your patron's appetites -- post this flyer at your food event or build a cookbook display around it. |

Are self-help and DIY books popular in your library? To strengthen your relationship with readers who are interested in those topics, consider offering NextReads newsletters. Two of the newsletters cover books on "Home, Garden, and Do It Yourself" and "Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" (fitness, health, parenting, personal finance, etc.) and would be perfect for self-help fans. The newsletters are created by our librarians and are delivered directly to your patrons by email. |
