Hi Monica and all. I wanted to let you know about an awesome thing you could do once finances permit. It's rather expensive though. A few years ago I was looking at some furniture and I came across this bookshelf that had a ladder which rolled. If I remember correctly the shelving washad different levels and was all along a wall. Of course it would have to be installed but this will be a dream of mine to have done. It's on my list of things I would like to have done once finances permit. Just a thought.

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.
