this must be the ugliest shelving in the world...



Community Christian Academy Library, Lowell MA
It is used shelving from college libraries that are upgrading. http://www.booksforlibraries.com sells them for cheap if you are going by shelf inch/dollar and they can carry a lot of weight. It's not the most appropriate for a school library but it could work for some of our books. Materials for teachers could go on the top shelves as could the books we are still in the midst of processing (getting into the catalog etc.) Non-fiction and Reference - typically hardcover and thus more heavy would be a good match for these shelves. One disadvantage is their height and bulk which would dominate a room unless placed wisely- we certainly wouldn't want it blocking our precious New England sun!
