I could use some help. I'm looking for some display shelving (open, not
glassed), and haven't found much selection thus far in Brodart catalogs,
etc. Any suggestions? Where did you get your display shelving for your
library? Did you resort to custom-built?

Please respond off-list as I will be going no-mail for 2 weeks beginning
Saturday, Dec. 18.

I'm replying on-line because I thought others might be interested. I
found a very cheap solution in a former school library. This is a
little difficult to explain, but I'll try. We had metal
shelves--the kind with a lip on the underside. They sat on a bar-like
bracket inserted into the slots on the upright pieces. Take an extra
shelf & lay it upside down on a regular shelf. From the back, lift the
extra shelf to the desired angle. Insert the shelf brackets under the
lip. You may have to put a shim behind the shelf to hold it tight.
Display materials can then be placed behind the bottom lip--works great
for magazines. Hope this makes sense. It's a great solution if you have
this kind of shelving.

We get our display shelving from 7 Mile Fishcamp Enterprises in Florida.
Clem Malecki is the proprietor. 205 Boston Road, Edgewater, Florida 32032.
Telephone: (904) 423-1298 of 423-1692. Call him and he will send color
pictures. He installs the shelves himself. Don't know whether he will go
to Alaska, but he might ship them.

The shelves are made of acrylic and are designed to hold whatever you want -
newspapers, hardbacks, paperbacks, videos, books on tape, etc. You can get
them to bolt onto a wall, end of stack, or you can bolt several panels
together and have a free standing tower. They are really attractive and
show off the materials really well. They privide economical use of space.
Clem was a librarian couldn't find display shelving that he liked. Decided
to design some himself. He probably makes more money now than he did as a
librarian.

He looks like my mental image of the chief character in THe Bridges of
Madison County (not that I thought it was such a good book).
