Just Some of Our Many Many Books!

Though these are currently packed up like this

book packs

Books are literally bursting out all over

And now that we have knocked all the walls down in our home

We need to find creative ways to store and display them

So that the children can access them and enjoy them

I have a thing for books

You may have guessed

I have topic boxes filled with books

A dinosaur box, minibeast box, fairies

I have books categorised by authors

Julia Donaldson, Oliver Jeffers, The Ahlbergs

And we have seasonal baskets too

We have thousands and thousands of wonderful books

And I want them to be

As they always have been

An integral part of our home

And so I am looking at ways to display our books

To share them with people

And to ensure that no book becomes lost or forgotten

Here are some of the ideas I have found

Wire baskets mounted on the wall
