Let them see change

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to encourage annual dramatic visual change.

Design/methodology/approach

The author incorporates principles of retail merchandising and his experience in retail grocery to make the argument for annual dramatic visual change.

Findings

A recent reset of the children's collection led to increased circulation, improved staff contact with patrons, and a project narrative to share with elected officials.

Originality/value

The paper offers anecdotal evidence from a unique experience as a grocery retail clerk that annual dramatic visual change boosts the library's status in the community.
