Find money-saving ideas for using these Dewey Decimal System library shelf labels on my FaceBook Live! Label holders (called "magazine files") are available on Amazon, but you can use these labels with items you may already have sitting around the library. Decluttering your space + saving our landfills = WIN!

FAST FACTS ABOUT THESE LIBRARY SHELF LABELS:

• Recommended for: all grade levels
• Editable: YES, all text is editable
• Formats: PDF, Google Slides, and PowerPoint (you only need one of these formats to use this product)
• You will also need: printer, cardstock (white or colored), something to attach the labels to, laminating machine (optional, but recommended)
• Note that this is a library shelf labeling resource and not a library lesson.

WHAT DO I ATTACH THE LABELS TO?

• You will need something to make the library shelf labels stand up on the shelves.
• I personally use clear, acrylic magazine file holders. The acrylic holders can be pricey, so you may find plastic or vinyl to be much cheaper. Search "magazine file holders" on Amazon or Demco for examples.
• You can also use old encyclopedias, dictionaries, or large 3-ring binders. Wrap them in colorful butcher paper to match the genre, then attach the shelf label to the book spine.
