Access to Books

Books must be accessible.

At Meals on Wheels Cheyenne we have some interesting new shelf and table arrangements. Crockett did his magic with some shelves that were donated yesterday. Those shelves might not otherwise be sellable. We can get many more books in the same square footage and they are easier to access.

We have already done a quick run through and organized the books in a better way. There are some books with duplicate copies. We have put them together. Those titles are more visible and a buyer can choose which one to buy based on condition and type of binding.

There are a number of time management books in stock at present. We have placed them on a separate shelf above the dictionaries. Current leadership books are all in one place.

One goal is to have the nonfiction help books better organized for gardeners, home handymen, Bible students, job seekers, and those looking to start a business.

Fiction is still mostly all on the tables. Romance novels are in one place. When we get a number of books by a single author we often put them together on a shelf.

School room chairs are available for accessing lower shelves and for leisurely browsing.

There are some intangible features coming in the near future to accentuate book purchases.
