I like the post it notes.  I also use them to mark my place in a book.

Thanks to everyone for your ideas and help. After some thought, here's
how I decided to solve my problem in case this helps anyone else.
Mayrie's post about milk crates sent me poking around on the Staples
website. I found some nice plastic crates that are stackable. I'm
putting books in crates and am sorting them so that each crate covers a
specific genre. I'm putting a Braille label on the front of each crate
so I know what it is. As for the books themselves, Pat Price told me
awhile back about using Post-It notes, and Jim Baugh had sent me some to
try. I've Brailled the author and title on large-sized Post-Its and am
putting them on the front of each book. They don't seem to bother the
print, and I can easily remove them when I want to. This is going to
take me all weekend to set up, but I think it will work well.

Btw, I like the idea of using the cinderblocks and boards but didn't try
it because I am physically rather limited in what I can do and how much
I can safely lift. When finances permit, I'm going to hire a contractor
to install some shelves and put together a new computer desk that uses
my space more wisely.

Thank you all for your help.
