**Quick ideas for promoting the Lone Star List in your library: **

 * ====Create an area for displaying the current Lone Star titles so readers can find them easily. ====
 * ====Form a Lone Star reading club. Members can read the new titles and/or the nominees under consideration and discuss them with other readers. ====
 * ====Copy the Lone Star title list and bookmark and make available at the circulation desk. ====
 * ====Encourage patrons to read 5 of the titles. Those who do can have their picture made with a favorite title and displayed in a special location in the library. ====
 * ====Spotlight a different title each week or month in the library and/or on your website. ====
 * ====Show book trailers and author interviews to encourage interest in Lone Star titles. ====
 * ====Host "Lone Star Listens." Each month or week read (or play the audio format) of a portion of a Lone Star title with wide reader appeal. ====
