Re: "dividers" for picture book shelves

[Carol Kotsch <FJCL1@AOL.COM>]

I'll tell you what I use--old notebooks.  Someone gave our school a ton of
notebooks from their business.  Catholic schools are always in short supply, so
I took some colored vinyl (also donated) covered the spines, added labels
created in Word that say EASY, put a  large capital E at the bottom, and then the
appropriate letter underneath that.  The distinctive color I chose helps my
beginning shelvers and the students find authors quickly.  I also made sets for
fiction and non-fiction, using different colors for them.  To my mind they
stand out better than the dividers in catalogs and they were virtually free.  I
made sure that each notebook is the same size so I don't have a mis-matched
appearance, and they have worked great.
