I like the post it notes. I also use them to mark my place in a book. Shelley L. Rhodes M.A., VRT, CTVI and Guinevere, Golden lady Guide juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

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.
