A Book Cart For Maximum Efficiency

Help me give my students a book cart so that I might shelve books more efficiently.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hawkins's classroom raised $169

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our library currently does not have a cart for shelving books, which impacts how quickly I can get books back on the shelf as the librarian. We desperately need a library cart!

Our students are voracious readers, which means book turnover is high!

Oftentimes, students are opening the book drop or asking me to check the processing shelf for high-demand titles. If I had a cart, I could get these books to their assigned shelf so much faster! This is a super high need in our space, and we could really use this one thing for efficiency's sake.
