Speaking of organizing LO's books

Zista

I want to buy display shelves that go on the wall, vs. a stand alone unit.  Has anyone seen something like this that show books facing outward, but for sale as wall units?

Yes, we have one in her room that displays record albums right now but can be used for books later.  Similar to this:  https://www.homeroomteacher.com/bookdisplay-wallmount.aspx

No - BUT...I saw a super cool idea: using rain gutters mounted to the wall to hold LO's books: https://www.mamanotes.com/2010/02/rain-gutter-bookshelves.html  (googled image - I'm sure there's lots more!)

I've also heard of using IKEA spice racks...easy to paint, super cheap solution!

Thanks, all!  I've seen the rain gutters before, but I really love the Ikea spice rack idea. 

S, where did you get yours?  From the link you sent?

I lucked out and found mine at a garage sale in NJ for I think less than $20.  I painted the brace boards the same as the wall so it blends in nicely.  I had a pic and can't find it, if I do I'll post it for you.

Land of Nod has them but they are considerably more expensive than an Ikea spice rack.  https://www.landofnod.com/kids-bookcases/kids-furniture/midnight-blue-bin-there-done-that-floor-book-bin/f7018
