So, may I introduce–Ready 2 Number Library Labels!
These labels are customizable and designed with a blank space at the top, so you may add a number of your choice…
Why number your library labels?
Numbering book bins and labels is a system I have read about on many different teaching websites over the years–and it is something I have always done in my own classroom thanks to the wisdom of these educators.
Numbering books and book bins has many benefits:
- Books can be listed under many different topics and genres, yet the numbers maintain a cohesiveness throughout the whole library.
- All students can easily participate in keeping the library organized.
- A numbering system makes it so much easier for a teacher on the fly to find and return any books needed during a lesson.
How do the books stay organized?
These labels are available in a Powerpoint file and are very easy to customize to fit your needs. Please see the video below for an explanation of different customizations–plus some time-saving techniques to get your labels quickly numbered and printed!
How are the labels attached?
The larger, book bin labels are best printed on cardstock. I laminate mine and hot glue them to the plastic bins I use for my library books…
The pre-numbered book labels can be printed on plain paper, cut, then taped onto the book cover (I use packing tape for longevity). I tape it so the colored part of the number is on the cover…
and the white part (where you can customize the label with your name) is on the back cover of the book…
(If you prefer stickers, these labels can also be printed on whole-page labels sheets instead.)
If you would like to read more about these labels, you can hop right over to them in either of my shops (they are listed at $8.00)…

I started something very similar this year with my classroom library and it is so wonderful! I love having everything numbered – it helps my students return then so much easier. Thanks as always, for sharing your great ideas!!
Oh, my! These may be just the inspiration I need to finally get my library in shape! It's a disgrace right now, and I hyperventilate every time I think of tackling it. 🙁

Just what I've been looking for!
What a great idea! I was just feeling frustrated this week because we've only had three weeks of school and my library is already a mess! I was trying to brainstorm a system I could use so that I can make my students accountable for keeping it as organized as I like it. This is perfect. Plus, I'm obsessed with your bright and clear decor 🙂

OMGOSH! I just LOVE these! Crossing my fingers I am one of the lucky ones! All of your work is so colorful and kid friendly. In the meantime it will go on my tpt wishlist!
I am a follower!! These would be great to have to get my library set up!!
Those look great! I have my library organized by genre (finally), but not so cute as those and the books aren't labeled, so kids just have to remember.

How do you come up with this stuff?! 🙂 Beautiful and brilliant as always!
You are AMAZING and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your brilliance!
You are back!! I am so glad you are still creating amazing things. My library is a mess and it is only the 4th week of school. Can't wait to get these. Did you post your classroom pictures?
Thanks, as always!! You are so sweet! We just wrapped up 2 and 1/2 weeks (feels longer, but not in a bad way!). I've been so wrapped up in planning I haven't taken pictures yet, but will try to this week since we have Open House. 🙂

If I don't win, I am so buying this. I have been in the process of doing this for my library and yours are so much nicer. My kids cannot treat my library nicely this year and I told them it is closed until further notice. It's unreal!

I already follow your blog (and love it!). I've already organized my library by genre/topic/author, but these labels are WAY cuter than what I have!
I already follow your blog and love it. I am revamping my library and purging (or rather sharing with some new classroom teachers) because I no longer have a classroom per se. SO my new book bo.xes I am ordering will really look great with these labels.
