Posted Poster Postings

While constructing supper last night, I had a Blog-Block-Breakthrough!

I hadn't been able to post here my poster ideas, because I was suffering from post-partum-idea depression:

Yep--I couldn't think of poster ideas, and it bummed me out to the point of inaction. I felt dumb as a....

Once I focused my brain onto "What posters would be used right now in my position", the ideas just flowed. I had to wash the raw hamburger remnants off my hands, stuff a slice of extra-sharp cheddar cheese into my face, and grab the nearest piece of paper. Right after I post these ideas, I am taking my electric bill out of its envelope that I used.

Talk about the light bulb going on!

Gina's Grand Brainstorm Ideas at Suppertime:

Generate interest in the new Student Book Recommendation program
Remind about our new World Book Online availability
Remind to cite sources
Promote an upcoming after-school club that takes place in the library
Promote after-school tutoring, also taking place in the library
Generate interest in the upcoming Celebration of Cultures Day
Generate interest in library blog participation

I would recommend to anyone with Poster Block that when it's taken from an enigmatic idea and made into a practical (as in applicable now!) task, then the ideas will come! At least that's what I accidentally found to be helpful. You probably already knew this....

Yep, I'm likely to go with the blog idea!

Change Will Do You Good

Sheryl Crow has it right, here!

Today I changed the old, tired, downtrodden "Easy" book copy type to...

...drum roll please...

"Everybody"! (Yaaaaaay!)

I understand that many have done this, and it is a giant "duh!" to you. I am new at my media mama position, and today I realized that although I have been saying Everybody Books, it wasn't backed up in the system and on the shelf labels.

Boy, do I feel good right now!
