[aisle] Display Help

I love the eclectic vibe of this floating shelf.  Of course, it would look
even better with books, pictures, and other library items displayed!  I
like that the 2nd shelf is curved so that just a few books can be placed
spine-forward.  Other shelves are more narrow for a face-front book. The
artwork needs to be library-related!  I like Peggy's idea of adding posters
to advertise the Lincoln Awards!
