Help me give my students a place for new books and help make for easy access. Books are currently not shelved and live on book trucks due to shelving space restrictions.

My Project
I am seeking some bookshelves and book displays for my library collection. We are having a hard time shelving books because of the lack of shelving. The students will benefit from new shelving because the displayed items will be more enticing.
It would really be great if I had a place for "New Fiction" or "Memoirs".
Also, I think it is important for the students to be able to view books at their eye level so I am requesting low shelving.
My school has not been able to fund this furniture request and I would really love to have the library set up to provide easy access.
