3branch magbrowz™ - Large Bin, 2 Box

I've been looking for a way to display my graphic novels so students (grades 5-8) can flip through them more easily. They are my most circulated and most browsed area, so keeping them on a shelf, in order, in static fashion was a barrier to true access and preventing maximum checkout. Maaybrowz bins help to keep them neat, organized, still mostly in order, but more easily browsed and circulated. They are incredibly sturdy and stick to the shelf.

When I switched to these bins, one of my students walked by and said, "It looks like a new library!" The bins look great and are easy for students to use. I put most of my nonfiction in the bins and the kids are easily finding books they want. Students aren't terribly careful about putting them back in the right place, but that isn't new and they'll get better as we learn to use the new bins. The ridges on the bottom of the bins help keep books upright and looking neat. The bins are very sturdy, too. Happy I purchased these!

We love these new bins for our picture books! I wish they held more though. When we consolidated the shelves and converted them to bins we had to come up with what to do with what wouldn't fit in the bins. That's the only downside...that you have to raise the shelves so high to have room to peruse the bins and lose upper shelf space. But they're sturdy and beautiful.

This was exactly what I needed, but it was confusing because some of the pictures made it appear to be a bin with sides. It's more of a one-piece U-shaped kind of bin. But it is very sturdy and the ridges in the bottom are excellent to keep books from sliding from front to back or from side to side. It transformed our picture book shelves and circulation has increased because of it! I just ordered more!

These bins are a wonderful addition to our children's collection. They allow the children to flip through the collection. We have seen a spike in circulation since we began using these.
