I love the signs! Some of my younger students, however, are confused by the letter "S" following the numbers--confusing it with the number 5. I believe it is due to the font choice and the fact that it is an upper case "S". I wonder if this could be addressed?

We've enjoyed them. I love seeing the kids researching with their heads bent over a book or computer keyboard and screen. They find ways to make connections with the people they're learning about. Anyway. Thank you for getting them and let me know how it goes!

They look great!
I just have two issues: The 700's sign says 800's and the 000's has a ghost, which should be in the 100's. Would it be possible to get a corrected copy of these two signs? Thanks so much!

MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
Oops. First person to notice that. Bravo!
Give me a day or two and an updated file will be available. Though I think I'm going to offer a choice ... I know ghosts are shelved in 133 but it just makes so much more sense in the "unknowns" ... at least to me. And many kids. ;)
Still looking for Bigfoot or Yeti or Loch Ness art that would work. Haven't found any yet.
(Later)
Done! Swapped out the ghost for a trophy (for "world records") and fixed the 700s. So sorry. :/

Fun and cute! I loved that I could put these up and they weren't too much for kinder, but were fun enough for the 5th graders to enjoy as well.

Thanks so much. I had fun making and displaying them as well. It's a delicate balance, right? Big difference between the little ones and the fifth graders. Not as big as they'd like to think ... but different all the same. ;)

Hi,
I just bought the Dewey Library Display Signs (326572) thinking they would be horizontal, but they are vertical.
Do you have them available in horizontal (landscape) format?
Also, my Biographies are 920...can I get copies on posters with the B & the 921 replaced with 920.
Thanks!

I haven't figured out a way to combine both formats into one download so just send me an email (to mso@msoreadsbooks.com from an address where you can get an attachment) and I will email it to you! Thanks.
May 15, 2013
Bibliocat (TpT Seller)
Hi, I put in the request.... for the 921s.... in portrait style... is fine... I just thought the B could be replaced with 921. Not all libraries use the B for Biography. I use the 921 so it is the same as our middle school, high school libraries.
Lights, Cameras, Read request.....
I just thought maybe the words on the film strip could be replace with the reverse.. Like ... Seen the Movie....Now Read the Book...
you do great work... I think two versions of the film strip page would be great addition in the Lights, Camera, Read! IMHO. Sheryl

Give me a day or two and ... I was going to say email but you know, it might be smarter to figure out how to save both versions in one file and upload that to TPT. Will be in touch.
And ... I can't figure out how to combine portrait and landscape views yet. Please send me a message from an email where you can get attachments to mso @ msoreadsbooks dot com and I'll email them to you. Sorry.

You are the greatest!! No hurry on the requests. I will be glad to pay extra for the requests.

Bibliocat (TpT Seller) re: Lights, Camera, Read!
I love this set and I plan to buy it. I was wondering if you could create a page that says. Seen the movie.... now read the book! I find when I talk to the students that they don't realize that there was a book before the movie.
May 6, 2013
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
Sure! Will have it done by Friday at the latest.
PS I hope you see this! Question: so there are no more matching figures in the clip art set that I haven't already used (or, technically ... kids--there are chairs and megaphones). So ... with a repeat kid figure? Or just words and no art? I personally like things like this to match ... it's either consistently not the same or consistently the same. Not like 85/15. But that's me. So I can't quite decide and thought I'd ask. ;)

Hi, I use 921 and not B in my library. I plan to purchase your set for displays. Could you change it to 921?
May 6, 2013
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
Sure! Again ... by Friday at the very latest. Most likely before.
Did you want the 921 page in portrait or landscape format? Portrait I can upload the file to TPT where you can download the updated file. Landscape and I will need you to send me a message from an email where you can get attachments and I'll send it to you. mso @ msoreadsbooks dot com

Mrs J in the Library (TpT Seller) re: Dewey Library Display Signs
Can the design be shrunk down to fit on the back of magazine files? I'm recycling a bunch I have as shelf signage and facing them backwards so the longer plastic side is what students will see.
March 19, 2013
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
Good question. Let me play around and see. What size would you like?

jshonk re: Differentiated Biography Research
Used them today with 4th and 3rd for encyclopedia research, and things went well...kids loved the clip art! They did find one mistake, tho' --it should be Wilber and Orville Wright, rather than Frank and Orville...
Any chance you could correct it?
Thanks,
Jeanette

Hi! I am a new elementary librarian, and I LOVE your blog. Thanks for sharing all of your fantastic and fun ideas. I purchased the Dewey signs and your newest Halloween literacy lessons. On the Dewey signs, both Literature/Poetry and Arts/Recreation say "800s." I was hoping you might be able to correct the Arts/Recreation sign so that I can re-print it and put it with my 700s. Thank you!

Caitlin Miller (TpT Seller) re: Super Hero Reading Bookmarks
I just purchased the BW bookmarks, and it said it was 3 pages. I thought I would get the third page like the colored bookmarks with the Hulk on it. Is this page missing?
September 29, 2012
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
For a couple days at least it's a typo with the "3" ... it's only ever been the two pages. That's why it was less $. You're the first one to notice! But I'll get the b&w version updated with the other page as soon as I get bookfair accounting and an author visit done on Tuesday.
I think ... I think when you update a file you can have it alert people who bought it, right? I think. Will try that. Or come back middle to end of next week and redownload.
And I just figured out where the typo came from. Apparently I uploaded the wrong version w/o the credits page. OOOOOOOOOPS! But I will still get the others in a b&w. Later this week, though.

The photo isn't large enough to read the text on the bookmarks and/or the library display signs. What do they say??
September 20, 2012
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
There. I fixed the previews so you should be able to see them now. They are all kind of parodies of classic super hero lines relating back to reading.
September 20, 2012
Asrubin re: Dewey Library Display Signs
I really like these signs, but I need to know the dimensions. The horizontal frames that I can get are 8 X 10. Will the signs fit this size frame or are they the normal paper size, 8 1/2 x 11?
September 16, 2012
MsOReadsBooks (TpT Seller)
Great question! They do print on regular normal paper. There is blank space around the edges that could be trimmed without losing text or pictures. I've tested it. ;] Easiest way is if you still have the little insert that often comes in a frame? Like the example picture or what have you? Set it on top of the signs and get it "centered." Then draw a light line around the edge. Trim and you're good to go!
