Ep. 3 Tips & Tricks Part 1: DVD’s/Graphic Novel Displays


Use DVD’s and graphic novels together to promote both sections within your library.  As Royce stated this is a fairly easy display to make.  It can go inside a display cabinet or on a display table.  Use some titles that patrons of your movie section might not realize are based from a graphic novel.  Some titles mentioned in the episode were” 300; Road to Perdition;  & Ghost Town.

If a parton is just checking out the DVD staff can mention that the graphic novel, it’s based on, is right there for check-out as well.  Tell them it’s like a novel, there will be parts of the story left out of the movie or changed and if they want to get the full story they will want to read the graphic novel.   If part of the display is checked-out, that is what you are after.  Just go back to your collection and grab another DVD and graphic novel.
