<div dir="ltr">Wonderful! Thank you! Curious, too, how height your shelves are.

The bins I have are a hodgepodge of shapes and sizes mostly from Target and dollar stores. I originally bought them during COVID when I was hauling books to individual classrooms. I would buy a few at a time as I found good deals since I have no budget. The bins are all in bright blue, red, yellow, green and a few white to match the library decor so it's very festive looking.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, May 15, 2022 at 8:53 AM Margo Newtown via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Any chance you can share what bins you use and how deep and wide your shelves are?

The most requested topics are now in a bin with a picture and word label. It drives me a little crazy that the bins may not be in perfect order but rather in the order that makes best use of the space. I have tubs for Outer Space, Rocks & Minerals, Weather, Military (300 & 600), different animal tubs, different sport tubs, Magic School Bus, Jokes, Titanic and many others. I continue to add as I find more groupings. I don’t know how this will work with your space issue but I’m using the same footprint as before. In some ways it’s easier for the students since there isn’t an entire shelf of books sliding around as they try to look. Reshelving is a breeze!</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, May 15, 2022 at 7:10 AM Nichole Folkman via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Does anyone do anything besides Dewey for their elementary nonfiction section? These kids don't know decimals yet and I want to make browsing really easy. I get annoyed when I'm trying to find things, so they absolutely do. Dewey of course is already sort of genrefied.... just looking for good, practical suggestions. I sadly don't have a lot of space, either. (My library is also the school office, copy room, head teacher office, teacher's lounge, mail room... and there is literally no more space in our school to change any of that.)<div><br></div><div>Any ideas appreciated.
