If all else fails, could you simply print some new signs, maybe on colorful
paper, and just stick them on over the old signs? Residue-removal can be
tricky, I know. I think nail-polish remover sometimes works on lots of
stuff. There's something called "Goo-gone" or a similar name. Find an
inconspicuous spot and try a few things. Let us know if anyone has a
sure-fire answer!

Subject: HELP: Removing shelf signage
I need some help. My shelves have some lovely blue plastic signs with
white writing indicating the appropriate Dewey section (i.e. 800
Literature). They are approximately 1 1/2 - 2" x 9". Due to space issues,
I've had to shift all of the books so now the signs are no longer in the
right places. They wer e purchased long before I came, so I have no idea
exactly what was used to stick them on although they are very secure.
I've asked my custodian about removing them, but she and her boss insist
that it is impossible to do without damaging the wooden bookshelves. I
don't want to have misleading signage, so I need some suggestions. What
can I do to remove the signage? What can I do to remove any residual
adhesive on the wooden shelves? Is there something that could be used to
securely reattach the labels in the right places and yet won't create a
lot of work in the future if these need to be moved again in a few years?
