School library shelf markers

Bernabi Library in Spencerport uses paint stirrers for student shelf markers. The students’ barcode labels are put on the sticks then the kids personalize them with markers.

This also means I have to organize all the books inside of the big bookmobiles – which can be a lot less fun than one would think.
