No immediate solution, but a caveat: avoid turning them on edge to shelve them like books!  It's tempting, but many boardgames have open trays inside with many small pieces or cards are sorted by color, or type, and putting the box on edge turns them all into a big sorting puzzle.  Putting small pieces and card decks into ziplock-style bags helps.

Hello Large and Lovely Library Brains!

I have a generous donor who would like to buy us some new shelving. I would really like to spruce up the shelving for my board games. Currently, they just sit on regular book shelves, looking haphazard. Do you have a brilliant board game shelving solution? Where did you get it? Extra points for pictures!

Thank you as always for your excellent guidance.
