I would make a horror display for a program that we would
have coming up. Last year around Halloween we did a program called is your
library haunted where we had a local ghost hunter group come in and do an investigation
at our Carnegie library. Leading up to this program we did a display of horror
novels and paranormal nonfiction books. We then did a program where we did a
story time out at the graveyard for
adults. We had patrons come out to one of
the local cemeteries in our area and tell
a story that either they had witnessed or
heard of. We could incorporate integrated advisory next time we do this program
by bringing books that people can either read from or take home after the
program to read at a later point. Another program that can be done to incorporate
horror novels is doing a horror marathon with a collection of novels that are related
to the movie that is being shown to give
the patrons a chance to check something
out to take home with them.
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI don't know where your library is, but the graveyard event one that I'd like to attend! Books AND graveyards?! If we could throw in a black cat and a Thermos of coffee, I'm definitely there! What a creative idea to encompass those horror readers and introduce them to something new, in addition to pulling in those who like the supernatural/horror, but can't remember the last time they checked out a book from the library.
What a great idea! We've had ghost hunters come in as well. They are always hit. Full points!
