Sorry for the lag in posts... school has been a mad house!
Here are some picture of my classroom library. I worked really hard to get it organized for the year. I chose to sort it by genre, favorite author, or series. Each basket is labeled on the outside. Each book also has a sticker label on the inside so students don't have an excuse for putting them back in the wrong basket.
Nearly all of the baskets are from Dollar Tree... so cheap! A few are from Garden Ridge.
I made the labels on a print program on my computer. I then printed them out on cardstock and laminated them. I attached them to the baskets with zip ties... took a while but I am hoping this will hold them on better than tape.
This bookcase looks a little messy, but the signs hanging on the front are the procedures for our classroom library. I will only leave these up a couple more weeks.
This is the bulletin board in the library. This is where my students can write book reviews and post them for other students to read. I got the idea from Mailbox Magazine.
Picture books are on the bottom shelf. They are still in the traditional shelving since there are not that many.
Here are my non-fiction shelves also. They are not as organized. I do have some of my history and math books sorted into baskets since I have a lot of those.
Hope that this sparks some ideas for you too! I love to see other people's classroom library for new ideas.

I found the smaller sized baskets at dollar tree, where did you find the big ones with the circle holes?
Cassie, I found the larger ones at Dollar Tree also. I have found that each Dollar Tree has a different selection. This year, I can't find any of those baskets at all!
