Description
Last summer, my eight-year-old nephew and I finished a day of new adventures with a trip to one of the largest Barnes and Noble stores in the country. As I watched Jack discover the store, it occurred to me how easily he maneuvered about and how quickly he found the second Harry Potter book he wanted as a souvenir of our day. Along the way Jack found numerous other books of interest, which lead to a lively discussion about his favorite stories and tile books on his summer reading list. The occasion provided an excellent example of visual merchandising's impact and how self-sufficient young people are at finding what they want when given helpful clues. I thought about how to translate that experience into school libraries, where a wealth of products is waiting to be found. We can take a few pointers from retail and merchandise resources, so students can enjoy the pleasure of information discovery.
