[LM_NET] TARGET: ELEM: book browsing bins

[Marcia Dressel <dressel@OSCEOLA.K12.WI.US>]

I'm looking at purchasing book browsing bins (as many public libraries have) for my 
preK building library.
 
If you have them,  please tell me what you like about yours.
Have you considered browsing bins - but then didn't get them?  Can you tell me why? 
(Maybe I should talk myself out of them.  I just think some K especially and our 4K 
students more naturally look for books by shuffling through that way.)
 
I'm looking at some colorful wave bins that sit directly on the floor (DEMCO 
catalog page 495
 
and also a GIANT book display that opens to reveal display shelves (not for 
browsing but to introduce groups of books, activities, etc.)  That's in the 08-09 
Highsmith catalog page 362  Can anyone give me experiences with that piece.  I'm 
worried that the front cover hinge won't be durable.
