Teen Spaces: Carlsbad City Library
I was picking up some books today at a nearby library and noticed this technique of shelving books in the young adult section. For series, the books are stacked horizontally instead of vertically. Since these shelves are fairly tall, a lot of the books take up less space this way. It also makes the titles easier to read and gives some visual interest to the area. Plus, they have lots of face-out books. Could be a neat thing to try in your YA, graphic novel, or kids spaces.

I think that’s clever! We do face-out for some books in children’s, but I think the books on their sides thing might be a bit too revolutionary. Plus we have no space!
