With books filling the shelves and study tables spread throughout, it can be difficult to keep libraries organized and free from clutter. For instance, you must consider how you'll label and store books and where you would like students or visitors to sit. Fortunately, with the use of neodymium magnets, you can easily organize your library and keep it clutter-free.
Bookmarks
With bendable silicone magnets, you can create a durable and easy-to-use bookmark. Simply open the clip, place book pages between the clip, and close it shut. You can also write on the surface of the magnetic clip with a chalkboard or dry erase marker and easily erase it. If you work at an elementary school, you can write the students' names on the magnets to avoid them getting mixed up or lost. You can purchase these versatile magnets in black or white.
Signage
Instead of hanging or taping signs throughout a library, you can create custom magnetic signage. With neodymium disc, bar, or adhesive magnets, you can attach signage to a magnetic surface. Magnetic signage is cost-effective, durable, and easy to move, which makes it ideal for libraries. It is particularly great for labeling designated quiet areas, study tables, book genres, and more.
Magnetic Labels
You can stick adhesive magnets to the back of paper or shelves to create custom shelf labels. For instance, you can use adhesive magnets to label genres, book carts, the Dewey Decimal System, and create name tags. Unlike lamented signs or stickers, you can easily move the labels if you need to move or rearrange books.You can use 3/4’’ x 1/16’’ disc, ½’’ x ½’’ x 1/16’’ block, or 2’’ x ¼’’ x 1/16’’ block adhesive magnets for magnetic labels.
Hang Items
Another way you can use magnets in libraries is to hang hall passes, lanyards, backpacks, keys, and more from magnetic surfaces. With swivel hook magnets holding up to 18 pounds, 12-pound hook magnets, or 25-pound hook magnets, you can easily hang these items from any magnetic surface. In particular, hook magnets are an easy solution for students to hang their backpacks on to avoid clutter on the floor.
Whiteboards/Chalkboards
To hang up posters, papers, and decorations on whiteboards and chalkboards, you can use basic neodymium magnets, including small disc magnets, square magnetic clips, duck-bill magnetic clips, or magnet pins. Using these magnets will keep your library clutter-free, and you can easily move and replace items.
