[ISLMA-Share] books sliding behind

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We had a similar problem with bookshelves we ordered a few years ago. The shelves are super slippery and books slid behind and book ends didn't stay put. Why do they make book shelves like that?? Our solution was to take the rubber liners you put in drawers and cut a narrow strip to line the shelf underneath the book end. We stuck the liner strip to the shelf with double sided super strength adhesive. It has worked well and shelves are much neater! I might throw in a few pool noodles just for fun now, though:)

I read a post once where the librarians used pool noodles cut to fit behind the books to push the books forward.


Might that work?

Hi -- our new shelving has us fishing out books that slide behind.  Any clever ideas from the group?
