Library Big Book Holder

My Project

Right now in our school we have a number of "big" books that students are allowed to look at, and eventually check out from the library. We are currently keeping them in hallways in cardboard boxes because we don't have anywhere in the library to put them.

I would like to ask for a big book holder that can host all of our giant books in the school's library.

Students love the big books, but find that they aren't really as accessible as they would like. If we can get somewhere where the books can live and be checked out, we would be able to have more books reach the hands of our students.
