<p class="MsoNormal">I am curious to hear more about how other libraries are organizing their Beginning to Read/Easy Reader collections. In doing some research, I’ve found some libraries have a color coded system designating general reading levels for easy
browsing, some libraries have books shelved by publisher, and others have switched from the spine out shelving method for cover out shelving so patrons can see the reading levels as they go. Just a few examples that I’ve come across. Considering your collection,
what have you found works best (or worst) for your library? If anyone would also like a compilation of responses, I would be happy to oblige.<o:p></o:p></p>
