[kids-lib] Storing Board Books

[Amanda Lamb]

Here at the Newberg Public Library we use a few simple, white laundry baskets that are easy to move when we have large programs and easy to see through both for staff pulling holds and for browsing children. One of our children's librarians also has a 'Babytime Cart' full of both board books and picture books that she pulls out at Lap-Sit Storytime each week. Families also know to ask at the children's desk for a look at the cart when they come in throughout the week. These books don't have as much wear and tear as the board books that are always out and are specifically geared toward that age group.

Hope that helps!
Amanda

Hi Everyone,

I would love to hear your ideas on storing/displaying/rotating board books.

We have several attractive/sturdy rectangular baskets that we've been using, BUT..we have an entire wall full of brand new Board Books that haven't made it out of the storage closet because there's no place to put them.

My director is hesitant to invest in more baskets as they are a bit expensive.

We would love your clever ideas!

Thanks,

Jana Hannigan, HRCLC
