shelving - a summary of needs

Community Christian Academy Library, Lowell MA

See the recent posts for details of shelving needed for each type of book. There are various arrangments possible but one that makes sense is:
  1. use bookcases with 4 shelves - 36" wide
  2. this will require 2 for fiction/non-fiction/bio and reference
  3. this will require 3 bookcases for easy readers and picture books - easy readers on top two shelves and picture books on bottom two shelves (technically picture books require one more shelf but we will ignore that for now...)
this adds up to 5 bookshelves, 36" wide with 4 bookshelves
typically these are 9 to 12 inches in depth

lacking enough wall apace 2 sets of bookcases could be put back to back
