[aisle] Elementary Non-fiction Arrangement

[Karyn Nadler]

I have Demco Book-stop markers in the beginning of the shelves with
pictures of what is there. The kids can use the pictures to find what they
are looking for. i.e. lions, tigers, bears, etc)
I also genrefy some books - Would Would WIn (I put all together with spine
stickers on them) Choose your own endings, etc.
