Gentle Reads Library Promotion Exercise (RA prompt)

Dear Mrs. Bosserton,

Fall is the season for sweaters and scarves, pumpkin spice lattes, and all things cozy! Normally we ramp up our promotion of horror and thriller novels during this time in anticipation of Halloween, but I was thinking we could take this opportunity to promote some of our gentle reads instead. I came up with three ideas that would work with this theme and I'd love your thoughts!

1) Blanket drive for Gentle reads!
This promotion could run the months of October and November. Patrons could have a check off sheet where they tally the gentle reads they check out and read and for certain reading habits the library will donate a blanket to a local homeless shelter.

2) Comfort food for the soul
I'm envisioning a book club/pot luck where gentle reads titles are discussed. If we couldn't go so far as to have an actual pot luck, maybe at least coffee, tea, and cookies or something along those lines.

3) Book talks/book discussion with therapy dogs
What is more comforting than a furry friend? The library could host book discussions surrounding "gentle reads" titles in a cozy environment (low-lighting, floor pillows, etc.) and bring in a company with therapy dogs for patrons to pet and snuggle.

I think our patrons would really enjoy some cozy, gentle, comfort in their lives. What do you think?

Thanks!
