Make your nonfiction section easier to navigate and browse with these nonfiction Dewey library signs, plus large alphabet letter signs for the rest of the library shelves!
Perfect for converting your library to Whole Number Dewey or adding to your library’s current Dewey Decimal System and alphabetized sections. These editable, printable library signs fit perfectly on 4-inch magazine file cases or book file cases as sign holders.
Though these signs are designed for an elementary school library, this product could also be used in a middle school or junior high library.
This product has 53 pages and slides, and it includes:
- Editable Dewey 100’s signs with clipart to show what topics are in each section
- Editable Dewey popular topic signs, as listed below.
- Blank template to edit and create your own signs
- Editable alphabet letters to label Everybody, Fiction, Graphic Novels, or even Biography sections
- Each sign is 11.5″ tall and 4″ wide with about 1/4″ of white space on the sides to give some flexibility for cutting them.
- All text, fonts, colors, and images are editable in Microsoft PowerPoint .pptx file format to customize for your school colors or library collection needs.
- Easy-to-print PDF file format also included.
- Links to file holders and/or file box products to hold the signs up, if none are available in your school, district, or public library
- Photos to show how to use the signs on library shelves
- How-to video tutorials for changing the colors of the Dewey numbers, text, and alphabet letters quickly and easily
Important: If you don’t have enough room for 4″ wide signs on your shelves, then the slim versions of the nonfiction signs and alphabet signs might work better for your library (see below).
What do I attach the shelf signs to?
- You will need something to make the signs stand up on the library shelves.
- Mrs. J in the Library uses colorful, plastic magazine file holders. The plastic holders can be pricey, so you may find acrylic, vinyl, or cardboard to be much cheaper.
- Search “magazine file holders” or “magazine file boxes” on Demco, The Library Store, or Amazon for examples.
