We're in the midst of reconfiguring our entire picture section from regular
spine-facing shelves to front-facing. Only downside is that we've had to
weed a lot of books, but the students (K-6) seem to like it a lot. We're
also going to do this to our biographies in hope of increasing circulation.
Supplies were relatively cheap - zinc-coated aluminum rods from Home Depot
<https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-4-in-x-36-in-Zinc-Plated-Round-Rod-802297/204273961>
that
fit perfectly in pre-drilled holes at front of shelves, Clear Gondola or
Wood Shelf Lips
<https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Gondola-Wood-Shelf-Lip/dp/B07BW14J8P> to keep
books on shelves. We used double-sided removable tape
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V1L2ZVD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1>
to
attach the lips to the shelves.
