This deck contains reference information intended to aid in the process of creating your WHM displays. This display is part of a series in correlation with our system-wide National Awareness Months campaign. Continue further for information on how to prioritize your WHM displays (page 4).
All display renderings are guidelines and not strict representations of what needs to be executed. Think of them as starting points to adapt or build upon.
If you have questions or concerns about a specific topic, please reach out to the contacts on the cover page.

Tips & Tricks
Prioritizing WHM Displays
• WHM launches at the beginning of March and runs through the month. Please prioritize WHM in your V1 position.
• WHM displays should take an A-location within the branch (V1). Please remember all National Awareness Month displays should be prominently displayed within every branch. This will ensure equal representation throughout the year.
• Branches are encouraged to celebrate Awareness Months throughout the year with the use of provided Marketing materials.
• For more information on visual positions and the VM Calendar, please refer to the Visual Merchandising homepage in Rufus. Both are further explained in this document.
• Bibliocommons lists are available from MSA. (see page 5)
• If there are any questions on how to prioritize or determine visual positions within displays, please reach out to Chris Keegan.

Tips & Tricks
WHM Display Resources
VM Suggestions:
• Even if there are little to no materials at your branch, please create a display with any relevant materials by using these suggestions from MSA.
• While the purpose of our displays is providing materials for customers to check out, these displays are meant to spread awareness and show representation. Therefore, we can at least promote our systemwide event alongside a curated selection of materials.
MSA suggestions:
• Women’s History Month Biographies
• Female Pulitzer Prize Winners
• Woman-centric Reads for Book Clubs
• Influential Women Directors
• Teen - Feminist Reads
• Teen - Celebrate WHM
• Kids - WHM
• Kids - Dynamic Women
• Kids - Women in Science
• Kids - Trailblazers
