Week Six Prompt Response
A way that the library could promote the horror genre would be to have a "movie night" for teens. The library has done this before, with a positive response. While most horror movies are R-rated, there are some that are not, and could be shown to a younger audience. This could be used to promote horror young adult books, such as Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak. This would incorporate integrated reader's advisory, as we would be using movies to promote a certain genre of books. We could have books available for check out at the movie night, so that teens who are interested in that genre could then read more right away.

I like where you're going with this idea. If my library had a meeting room we could show movies in, my manager would be all over this. Our patrons love horror movies!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, albeit a short prompt response! Maybe some older black and white horror movies could be shown as those have lower ratings and are always creepy!
