We also have lists of similar books at www.inquiringminds.org  There is
educational curricular material as well.

There are a few events where we try to encourage book displays - Darwin Day
on Feburary 12th, Superstition Bash on Friday the 13ths and Halloween, April
Fool's Day, etc.

We also go to NSTA conventions and the like and find a lot of support from
educators.
