This is their store's new diversity display located on the first end cap inside their main entrance. It is a fluid display and is intend for display for an extended period of time. At its creation, it was LGBT focused but it changes as new books are added. In just a few days they have sold out of a many titles. As a title sells, it is replaced with another copy of the same or, if that isn't on hand, with another title that honors the intent of the display beyond its initial theme.
Towne Book's merchandising team is dedicated to using this display to highlight excellent literature that will inspire and create necessary dialogue and expand the minds and worlds of their customers. Their social media team has been promoting it via various social media outlets.
The staff has created and keeps adding a list of new titles and authors to feature. If you have an author or title that is appropriate based on character, setting, subject matter, etc, Towne Book would love to incorporate it. Please email Kit with any recommendations.
If there's something interesting you'd like to share with us all, please email us.
