Subject: Re: [ISLMA-Share] Promoting ABE books

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.

I am working on this goal for next year myself, so I am interested to hear ideas as well.  I did do a March Madness Bracket this March that had books from last year's Abe list against books from this year's Abe List, and I had students fill out brackets in advance, and then anyone can vote on the choices.  I am hoping that will start some conversations about the list with students that do not usually participate, and that I can play up that event through the year as one motivating force.

Hello all!  I am interested in knowing how you promote the Abraham Lincoln awards.  ANY ideas on how I can increase participation next year are welcome!
