[aisle] Question for middle school librarians

[Catherine Gallagher]

How about colored tape in a certain color? You could put that at the top or
bottom of the spine label. Something like this
<https://www.demco.com/demco-reg-color-coded-paper-tape>. I use this to
label new books at my school. The kind I use is removable so it won't
damage spines.
