Vox/Wonderbook Storage
by EmmaLee Ridenour 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

Hello all, I am wondering how everyone stores their Vox and/or Wonderbooks? Has anyone found a great solution for them? We have been ordering more lately and since they are larger in the back they do not sit nicely on the shelves. I have tried adding extra book ends in between smaller sections but still find them sliding out or falling over when patrons browse. My best thought so far is to get a bunch of open front magazine holders to at least add more stability to them, but would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you in advance for your help!
