Trying out my own version of dynamic shelving with chapter books. They weren’t getting browsed like they should.
Turning series horizontal. Moving more books front facing and highlighted.
Anecdotally, the few prototyped sections have already turned heads and increased circulation!

I was today years old when I learned Picasso was a suspect in the theft of the Mona Lisa.🤯
This FANTASTIC book is like a true crime podcast. Compelling characters, nonlinear narrative, and commentary on our modern world. Loved it.
Thrilled to share it with our 5th grade Mock Newbery committee.
