This month our Guidecraft Educator’s team is celebrating Back-to-School in style with a bookshelf give away for your preschool or kindergarten classroom!
About the Guidecraft 3 Shelf Bookshelf
I am reviewing the Guidecraft 3 Shelf Book Shelf because I am passionate about books and literacy, especially making books organized and accessible in the classroom. This book shelf was fairly easy to assemble but it did take two people. It seems extremely durable and fits in nicely with my other classroom furniture. In the picture below you can see it next to my other shelf that was purchased from a school supply store.
How to Set Up a Classroom Library in Preschool
When setting up a library for young children in your classroom or at home here are some things to remember:
- Place books in your library with the covers facing front. Tilting your head and reading the title from the spine of the book is something we as adults can do, but young children who cannot read are attracted to the pictures and colors on the front of the books. They will be able to select books that interest them easily when books are facing forward.
- Categorize your books by topic such as colors, shapes, letters, numbers etc. This will make finding books easier for children. If children can easily find books they want they will be more likely to read.
- Label your books and baskets or bins. Young children will be able to return books to the correct location easily when the books and the bins are clearly labeled.
You can find more information about setting-up and organizing your classroom or home library here.
The rounded edges and corners will help keep little ones safe and the UV finish ensures that the bookshelf will withstand heavy duty use in any classroom or home.

Disclosure: I received a book shelf in exchange for an honest review, I was not compensated in any other way. All opinions are 100% my own.
I don’t have many bookshelves in my classroom so this would be great! Thanks for the review!
I would love the Playhouse Hideaway bookshelf.
I love the Big Book Easel. Big Books can be a pain to store and read. This easel looks perfect for my classroom!
I would love the Single Sided Book Browser.

We need book display and book shelves.
The Classic White Bookshelf would be useful in my home because we are in need of more storage space (mostly for books!)
I’d really like the Easy-View Storage Bench.

I would love any book shelf as I am a book collector and organizer, but I love the Moon & Stars See, Store & Take-Along shelf and Moon & Stars Media Carousel. Thanks for the chance to win. :))
This is a beautiful shelf. I am very passionate about creativing an inviting library area and that gets my students interested in exploring books.

I like the easy view storage bench. I love books and I never have enough storage space.
any of these will be a great addition to my class!!!
I love the single sided canvas book display
I love the Moon & Stars Media Carousel. I have a primary color theme in my room, so it would match perfectly, but also would be a great addition to my library center. I think the kids would be attracted to it and would spend more time looking at books. I will have to keep it in mind for a future purchase.
I would love a new kitchen. Ours was not made for so much use and is starting to break, it would be great to get a new sturdy one!
