With so many series books that need to be read in order in my collection I put those in number order to make it easier for the kiddos to get the correct one. Some, like Spiderwick and Guardians of Gahoole make it easy by putting the numbers on the spine (since they were specifically written as a series) but those like Indian in the Cupboard, Hatchet, Great Brain, which have 'true sequels' I put a small tag/flag on the shelf (bright colored paper that is laminated and stuck on with book tape) to help the students know what the correct order is. (Imagine putting sticky notes on the shelf below the books...that is what it looks like but is more more durable. I was quite pleased to see how well these stand up!) No, this doesn't follow the true letter of the "alphabetical order law", but it makes it easier for my students to access the books they want, which is the name of the game!
