If you have posters, you can always hang a couple in the library or leave them near some of the study areas.

I always wondered how super-villains replenish their supplies of henchpersons. What with so many of ‘em getting pushed out of aircraft, blown up, and spearfished by International Men of Mystery, the turnover rate must be horrendous.
