book display

Library's featured shelf

A book display is an arrangement of books set up to attract attention, typically in libraries, bookstores, or at book fairs.

Displays often feature new arrivals, themed selections, or staff recommendations: The librarian created a book display for Black History Month.

The term also refers to the physical fixture—a stand, rack, or table—used to showcase books prominently.
