Happy New Year everyone!

We once did a similar display and called it "Help Yourself!" That seemed
to work well.

I imagine this would not be appropriate, but it's one of my favorite
slogans I saw on a t-shirt once -- "Eat right, exercise daily, die
anyway!" (A credo I heartily endorse.)

BYE!

We're doing a similar display right now. It's alittle more
general than what you've got in mind but includes fitness as a part of a
list of new years's resolutions.
Our display sign is a big (20 x 24') list entitled
"This year I will...". It then goes on to list the
most common New Year's resolutions like exercise more, eat better,
organize my desk, start saving for retirement, fix up the house etc.
Above all that there's a bright colored box that says "Let Us Help You
Keep Your Resolutions". The books on the display all relate to the list of
resolutions: exercise, low-fat cooking, home repair, time
management/organizational skills, etc. We thought it would be a timely
display plus it would highlight some of the lesser known areas of our
collection.
It's been pretty popular so far. Lots of browsers and 25 books checked out
from the display table in the first five days.

If you want to stick with the Health and Fitness theme, you might browse
some of the fitness mags, like Shape or Mens' Health for catchy phrases.

Some quick possibilities:
* It's Not Too late to Get In Shape
* Show a picture of your library card - "the only health club card you
need"
* Tae Book.....yeah, okay, that's stretching it.
* Make a Start towards a Healthy Heart (also works into February for
Valentine's Day)
* Get an abandoned step aerobic bench (there are a few around :-) ) or
a pair of gym shoes and surround them with books. Possible slogan: "Step
Up to Fitness"

Good luck!

Last year I put up a post-New Year's Resolution display entitled "O, That
This Too Too Solid Flesh Should Melt." I stocked it with diet and
exercise books and it was pretty popular.

In January, I do a display called "The Best of Intentions." It doesn't just deal with health and fitness, but maybe it could be adapted for this??!!
