Make it your own
Money as You Grow Bookshelf is designed to be quick and hassle-free to set up. And, it’s flexible enough to adapt to your library location, staff, and creativity!
Start with the basics
Download the parent guides
At a minimum, you’ll want to:
- Display the children’s books you have, from the Money as You Grow Bookshelf list
- Make it easy for parents to find the matching parent guide nearby
Additional ideas
Ask the staff to contribute ideas
Money as You Grow Bookshelf brings parents and children together. So your adult librarians and your children’s librarians might have ideas on ways to attract attention from both groups
Ask volunteers for their thoughts
If you have volunteer groups that donate their time to the library, consider asking them to create posters or displays to accompany Money as You Grow Bookshelf.
Show off the display location
Share pictures of the display on social media, on your site, and in newsletters. Some libraries have submitted program information to their local newspapers.
