My Project

It's a brand new school year. It's time to update our mismatched and old book bins and make sure our beautiful Demco dividers stay neatly on the shelves! We've received so many amazing shelf labels and dividers through DonorsChoose.

Now it's time to display them neatly and make sure they stay in place while our students browse our collection.

We will place the nonskid bases on the dividers in our fiction collection so that when the kids browse, the books and their dividers don't slide around and fall off the shelves. The browsing bins will be used to better display our themed paperback books for easy access for young readers. And the label protectors are necessary for our new books/damaged books when they receive new barcodes! It protects our books as we constantly scan them in and out!

Our library is a calm, safe, and brave learning space. We've received so many compliments on our space. Help us keep it beautiful for everyone in our school community.
