The "Oh Rats" display was very popular. So much so that weeks after is came down a young customer asked where "those books on rats were". Apparently, he saw the display and had been begging his mother ever since for a pet rat. They were back at the library to stock up on information. This made me pretty happy except that the mother was glaring at me the whole time. Perhaps I should have steered them to another display on cute, fluffy kittens. As you do displays you constantly learn what works and what doesn't.
