When you walk into a book store such as Barnes and Noble to pick a book many of them are forward facing to draw your attention to the cover. My goal is to change the shelving in our school library to be dynamic and engaging just like book stores. This makes them more engaging for the students. Looking at all the book spines makes it harder for a student to pick the books they would enjoy or that are interesting to them.
Class Furniture - Carpets, choral risers, transitional seating/desks, etc.
Students will be able to browse and find a just right book easier in the library. The acrylic displays will allow me to create engaging book displays on the shelves to encourage the students to checkout different books. Shelving a book series together with a forward-facing clear container makes it easier for students to find the books they are looking for as well as entice them to look at other books.
I expect the students to check out and read more books. They will begin to discover other genres they may not have before and read books they may not have chosen before because of the way they are displayed in the library. Students will not need as much help finding books in the library because they will be in clear containers, or the covers will be facing forward which makes it easier to see and find the book they are looking to read.
