Lucy, That is SUCH a fabulous idea to use materials you already had and barely anything needing to be added! Nicely done.

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 that fit perfectly in pre-drilled holes at front of shelves, Clear Gondola or Wood Shelf Lips to keep books on shelves. We used double-sided removable tape to attach the lips to the shelves.
