My Project

My students love learning and finding their favorite nonfiction books. We have made a goal this year to add many new nonfiction books to our library. However, my students need new signs with pictures that will help them find their favorite books quickly. Currently, dewey decimal numbers rounded to the nearest 100s are the only shelf finding aids students have to rely upon. These just don't meet our needs. We have digital images ready to print. The images will be fastened to the magazine holder and displayed next to the appropriate books. This project will add 30 holders to our library to get us started.

Students who are looking for sports books will be able to look for the sign on this new magazine holder that will display the DDC 796 and a picture of sports.

These pictures paired with the DDC number will aid students in finding their favorite books. More importantly, students who are still learning to read will use those pictures to quickly spot the correct shelf to find books to read at home with their families. My older students will be able to help put library books back on shelves as these picture finding aids will make returning books a breeze. Right now, even adult volunteers struggle to place nonfiction books back on the shelf in the correct location.

These finding aids will empower my students to find their favorite books. Student and adult volunteers will be able to maintain our library. When books are in the correct location, everyone benefits. Students will be able to learn the facts and information unlocking the world found in a nonfiction book.
