I have the Abe's promoted throughout the Library.
1.The computer screen savers rotate descriptions of all the Abes.
2. The actual books are displayed throughout the year with a plastic 5x7
frame that describes the books
3. I keep a bulletin board behind my desk and track how many people read
each ABE.
4. I have an old trophy case and print the book covers out and that
displays in the hallway the whole year
5. I do a bulletin board in the hallway with all of the books as
recommended reads

I have also been reading exclusively the Abe's in my book club and the
students spread the word when they read a book they like. This happened
with Butter and Say What You Will this year. After book club read both
books.
