Library Point of Sale Display Ideas

What Health & Safety Items Do I Need in My Library?

• Consider wiping down and sanitising returned books. This may also include setting these copies aside for a few days after them having direct contact with others.
• Install soap dispensers in high traffic areas; think entrances and exits, as well as near checkout areas and down your frequently visited aisles.
• Place sneeze guards at checkout areas to ensure that there is a clear barrier between both staff members and library visitors.
• Space out study and computer areas further. In the case that this cannot be done, partition walls are a great alternative to ensure that people are sufficiently seperated from one another.
• Utilise barrier stands and floor stickers to help everyone adhere to social distancing measures.
• Provide employees with masks and/or protective visors and require each person entering the library to wear a face covering too.

What POS Displays are Suitable for Libraries?

• At the entrance - the entry area of any business is important, as it's the very first place that you'll make an impression on those passing through your doors. Ensure you have sufficient signage outside to notify individuals of opening hours or changing policies/procedures; Adhesive Poster Pockets are a great option, as they can stick to windows without leaving any residue behind, and are viewable from both outside and inside the building. Additionally, A Boards are a popular product to place just outside the entrance, again, providing customers with any relevant information they may need to know.
• At the checkout area - another great location to inform visitors. Single-Sided Poster Holders are common on these countertops; maybe use them to inform customers of return times or policies set in place for the late return of books. In addition, the checkout area of libraries may be a useful place for a Leaflet Holder should you have any pamphlets to distribute.
• Between aisles - you want to ensure that your visitors can efficiently and easily find the particular books they're after, so top-notch signage should be a priority. Consider the use of Ceiling Suspended Poster Pockets to help direct individuals to the correct aisle, or to specify the particular categories down that aisle. Alongside these, Poster Pockets are frequently used at the end of aisles (placed on the shelving) to aid in identifying the books down that specific aisle. Additionally, Sign Clips or Shelf Barkers can be used on the shelves to provide extra information to customers. There are many options available, however these are typically attached with suction cups or self-adhesive pads directly onto the shelf.
