[aisle] Picture Book Browsing Bins/Shelving

[Lucy Elford]

Julie, the zinc-plated aluminum rods happen to be flexible enough that you
can bend them to get them into the holes and they stay in place. They are
rigid enough to stay in place, but we decided to use 2 per shelf so they
can handle the weight of books leaning against them. I have to admit that I
also tried wooden dowels and various widths of metal rod before coming up
with the answer!
