Wyoming Brings the Sexy Back to Reading
By Jane • Sep 25th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •
Last week, there was an ad by Sony for the new Sony Reader that read “Sony. Sexier than a Librarian.” Today, Angela James sent me a link to a Wyoming library ad campaign that aims to bring the sexy back to reading. Barnhart ad agency helped Wyoming libraries to create a host of sexy and clever ads to bring readers into the fold.
One thing that the New York Public Library does is offer digital content to out of state users for $100.00 a year. Wyoming Libraries might consider doing something like to expand its reach beyond its borders.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

There are a number of programs like that, especially in sparsely populated areas. In fact, in Linda Howard’s Open Season that’s how the hero/heroine meet–she’s a librarian, and he wants home access to the state’s(?) online library resources. (It’s set somewhere in the South.)
I would so put that bumper sticker on my truck. I love this ad campaign. It’s fun and sexy. When I saw it, it totally made me smile!
I have mixed feelings. As most of the clients are probably women why is the sexy fishing done with objectified trucker chick pinups? Of course the same could be said for book covers these days. Oh well, I suppose I am a throwback to archeofeminism of some sort despite being a porn-writer. Perhaps someone can explain Alicia Silverstone stripping for animal rights while they are at it….
