Get Caught Reading



With May as Get Caught Reading Month, I asked campus faculty and staff let me "catch" them reading so that I could take a picture of them with books from the library. Sometimes I took a stack of books to the employee, and other times employees browsed the library. Overall, they enjoyed trying to find just the right book.

Nice, Chandra! Did your project lead to books getting checked out?

I'll be doing this as well. I'm rolling out the idea tomorrow....

Two books got checked out as a result. I discovered another perk...the person with the camera can easily get out of having her picture taken for the display!

We did something similiar. Those who had their pictures taken had a lot of fun doing it. We had a book with a ? mark on it and then had the students guess what the reader was caught reading.
