Because I needed something tactile and not too cerebral to do here at work today, I decided to get a head start on a book display for February. My theme is
"I (heart) Books"
so I did a title keyword search in our online catalog for heart*. That brought up a couple thousand titles that have heart, hearts, heartland, heartwarming, etc. in the title. After sorting it so that the most recent items appeared first, I went through about 500 entries and printed those that fit into my display. I have fiction, biographies, African-American, travel, career, holiday, and general nonfiction from all 10 Dewey classes except the 400s.
Now, I'm on the lookout for translucent, heart-shaped Post-It stickers. Any ideas? I figure the Valentine's Day stuff will probably begin appearing in the stores next Tuesday, so now I have a mission!
