This is an example of the space needed for picture books. Note that there is plenty of room to flip through the books and that there are several shelf dividers to help keep books upright. The height of the shelves is also taller. This demo has about 25 books per shelf - we have about a 100 donated picture books in the queue which means we will need about 4 of these type shelves to store them. Our current shelf of picture books is jammed 100 to a shelf - so we should get 3 more shelves just to store those properly. This adds up to 7 picture book shelves that need to be purchased to fill our current needs. (this photo is of product Lov'n wood oxford picture-book shelving from demco.com) It is possible that some of this need can be met with clever use of shelf dividers on some of our larger width metal shelves.
