Thank you everyone who has contributed, their are a few ideas I can take up. We have tried the 6 book challenge but only ESOL students seem to take it up, I think I will give it another go. I do like Amy's blog with the reviews I will try to get some reviews and work on our advertising for them. I am glad I don't seem to be alone in this.

We promote fiction on our blog, on themed book displays, and we have a book exchange where people can bring in unwanted fiction and / or take home a book. Our blog is: https://ccnlibraryblog.wordpress.com/ (it isn’t widely read unfortunately). We also ran the 6 book challenge with the Reading Agency from Jan – June. Some individual students signed up, but mainly Foundation Studies and ESOL classes. Please let me know of any feedback you get, all help gratefully received at this end! Many thanks Amy AMY STRAKER LIBRARY SERVICES OFFICER INFORMATION STORE Norfolk Educational Services City College Norwich Tel +44 (0)1603 773052 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://www.ccn.ac.uk<http://www.ccn.ac.uk/> (Please note: my working days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.)

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Emma Berry Sent: 02 July 2015 08:53 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Fiction for FE Students Hello, I wondered what experience you have of getting FE students to read fiction. We have not had many students use our fiction section in the last few years and therefore our bosses want to drastically reduce our fiction books. Do you still promote fiction books and how do you do this?
