Shelf Talkers

I loved this idea so much that I just stole it directly from Carolyn @ Risking Failure. I haven't had too much success with it yet, but some kids really get into it. I did hit a few snags though, which might hit you too, if you try this out.

1. The books on lower shelves (i.e. not the top shelf) do not allow for the shelf talkers to fit. I had to use binder clips and attach the shelf talker to the side of the book, rather than above.

2. I didn't know what to do for the kids who wanted to take the books. I didn't want them to keep the shelf talker signs. I decided to place three stations around the library (one in the youth area and two at our self-checks) asking them to leave the shelf talkers if they checked the books out. So far, none have been taken away.
