Libraries are one of my favorite places in a classroom. I love my library and it’s my favorite area to set up each year. I also know that without a good system and without teaching the my students a few important things, the library can easily become a chaotic disaster rather quickly. Check out these simple classroom library organization ideas from teachers for teachers that just may work for you too!
