PR Hing of the Month - January 2006 - Hobbies

Building off of the display tip from earlier this month, here is an idea for January that is easy and FREE!
January is Hobby Month!
Everyone has a favorite activity for which they can't find the time. This month, help people discover a new hobby, or something about a current hobby they didn't know. Whether it's building model airplanes, making jewelry, playing an instrument, or knitting; hobbies relieve stress and break up the monotony of daily life.
Remind patrons to resolve to take time for their favorite hobby in the New Year. Set up displays of books that cover a variety of hobby favorites. You can build off of the New Year's Resolution theme and even include self-help and fitness in your display. Try to work in some programming that fits with the theme and spend the month celebrating hobbies!
