First, we know where to find the books we love and where to return them. Secondly it allow us to have more classroom space since the shelves are not taking up as much room as the previous storage system. Lastly, this is such a versatile way to display our books that we can physically move the shelves around the room as needed!\r\n\r\nWe really appreciate your donations to our classroom.

My whole library fits on these 2 bookshelves now!\r\n\r\nStudents love being able to easily see the books, no more digging through bins! They can quickly see the Elephant and Piggie books, or the Ella Diaries books, or the Dog Man books. They are grabbing books that they hadn't noticed before. Their reading is really growing, and I see more students gravitating towards reading once they finish work instead of drawing or messing around.
