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!

Hi EmmaLee, At Commerce we use file dividers like these for the picture books: [image: image.png] [image: image.png] And then slotted shelving (the kind we use for DVDs) for the chapter books that are too big for the dividers: [image: image.png] We started doing this a while ago, and haven't run into any issues!

Hi EmmaLee, We ordered these file sorters for our VOX books and bolted them down to the shelf. Works great!
