I wanted to share one of the more popular ones I put up. This is devoted to biographies of black chefs and cookbooks by black authors.
It emptied out the library of all the books on the subject very quickly and I had to pivot to another topic.
When you are thinking about promoting various history/heritage months, think outside the box. Don't limit yourself. Think about your own city/town/community. Think local history. Think about culture in a broad sense.
Creating book displays is a good way to inventory your collection. If you can't find books for a display, your library might need to diversify its collection. There are always constraints due to collection development policy and budget but we can add books to represent our entire communities. Promoting them through passive readers advisory like displays, bookmarks, and lists will help your patrons find them.
