Is this the MUST HAVE library neon sign for next school year?! I spotted this LET’S READ neon sign in a TikTok video about Hobby Lobby’s new school decor. It’s only $20 and pretty sizable for the price! ❤️💜💙🩷

A2: I use what I would consider a TON of signage for wayfinding. My favorite signage is probably these shelf tags for series. I have the cover plus series titles in order. I tape them to the shelf to make it easy for students to browse and select books in a series #TLSkyChat
