‘Think Pink in the Library’ Display Promotes Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year in Qatar the Georgetown library highlighted the annual awareness campaign by creating a display of books with pink covers. The display was called Think Pink in the Library.

The eye-catching arrangement of books was located behind the Reference Desk and was impossible to miss. Who knew the Georgetown library had so many pink books?

Serials Collections and Reference Services Librarian Sue Page created the conversation-provoking display. Page had arranged a similar display at a library the previous year when a friend was diagnosed as being in the early stages of the disease. Her friend’s experience inspired her to do something a bit different to highlight awareness of breast cancer.Page said, “It’s amazing how many pink books there are when you start looking. I love the fact that we have a series of political science books published by Routledge with titles such as Marx’s Ethics of Freedom, The Political Theory of Anarchism, and On Justifying Democracy…all with the most wonderful bubblegum pink covers!”
