Classroom book display with overstock

Books in hanging pocket-sleeves that face outward, titles visible. To their left, similar blue books are grouped in a cardboard organizer that has been placed on a yellow chair. Titles are separated by blue paper strips that have white labels on them. Red books, similarly organized with red dividers bearing white labeling, are in another cardboard organizer on the ground and to the right.

The daily course of a library worker’s day draws upon many “hats.” Here’s a representation for the bookstore stocking clerk. In a teacher’s classroom, these booklets were bundled in sets, but the teacher needed them accessible for students to freely browse. She’d begun putting books, in order by title, into clear plastic sleeves in a hanging-pocket display — so I continued her efforts and put the overstock into an organizer. I used crafting paper and a label maker to separate each title with dividers — making it easy to locate titles when it’s time to restock.
