missceegee: What size Demco color label protectors do you use? Do you use the same size for all of your books?
Has anyone used the Demco subject classification labels successfully? Do they need a see-thru label protector over them? I am thinking of combining all the history books in chronological order and using these labels to note biography, President, Historical Fiction, and Newbery.
I also plan to use an idea I read somewhere on the Internet, maybe here. It is similar to the shelf markers missceegee linked to. Use colored (painted) paint stirring sticks for kids to put in the bookshelf where they took a book from, so they can put it back where they got it. Of course this takes some time in training good habits first. The stick colors designate the child who took the book out. Then you know who to go to if a book has been gone a long time.
Great thread. Thanks for all the helpful ideas.
