Bookends for the Library

Help me give my students a library with new books. I am trying to rebuild my school library. I would like to display the books on the empty shelves and I need bookends to hold the books up.

My Project

Our long neglected library is finally getting a chance at a new life. I would like to get some bookends, so I can put our newly purchased library books on the shelves.

For years, our library has not had a librarian to maintain our library book collection.

In recent years, we have had to throw away the majority of our collection because of mold issues. The bookshelves have looked empty and students no longer use the room. With a recent purchase of new books and plans to get new books in the future, I would like to get a new supply of bookends, so I can properly display books on the shelves.
