Easy to use and attractive. I’ve already had patrons comment on how much they like how much they help in finding materials.
Mrs. J in the Library –
Thank you for your review! I’m so glad these signs are helping your patrons find what they need.

I have been in an elementary library for 4 years now and have struggled to figure out how I wanted to organize my shelves. I had this file stored in my Pinterest board for months and I finally took the plunge and purchased it. It has been a complete game changer! Instead of showing kiddos the same sections week after week, the finally have the freedom to find it themselves. The other teachers who have popped in have also made so many comments about how cleaner and neater is all looks. I am only halfway through getting them up but so far, absolutely love! I recommend this product 100%!
Debra –
Our district’s library department purchased this for each teacher librarian at K-5 and K-8 sites. The visual support for students is clear and striking, students are learning to guide themselves to their areas or authors of interest, and principals have been very happy about the uniform look and the ways the marked shelves help foster student independence in using library organization skills they are learning.
