Color Coded Genre Shelving in the Library

Help me give my students colorful paper and tape to make our fiction genre shelves easy to navigate

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vaughan's classroom raised $651

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Today's student is in a hurry and has limited time to browse library shelves before school and during lunch. Many times, a student will run out of time to find a book before needing to transition to their next class and leave the library frustrated and empty handed.

Installing colorful paper and tape on the backs and edges of the fiction genre shelving units will make it quicker and easier for students to see their favorite types of books.

We would love your help to complete the process of color coding our fiction genre shelves so that students can find their favorite books easily.
