My Project

I am a new librarian and I want to redesign my library shelves for my students. I want to make the library visually appealing and easier for students to find books. For elementary students, it can be hard to just see the spine of the book to make a choice of what to read. Grouping like books together, such as putting all the books about basketball together or all the hockey books together, helps students interested in these sports and other topics find the books easily.

I want my students to enjoy looking for books when they come to the library.

When they see books in bins and front-facing it makes them more inclined to browse the shelves.
