A plethora of books in the home can encourage kids to read and pique their boundless interests. To help inspire reading, even more, many parents devise creative ways to store, organize and showcase their kids' book collections. An artful display filled with an assortment of favorites can also be used to create a fun reading nook for your young reader. Striking and visually-pleasing mini home libraries are sure to entice little readers into reaching for more books!
We asked our Scholastic Parents Facebook audience to share what their child’s bookshelf looks like. Check out these shelves below and get inspired—from neat and simple to bold and statement-making, these bookshelves are a great place for ideas.
"I rotate the ones that [our two-year-old] can read. Like this week, colors and feelings are on the bottom shelf since that’s our theme this week." --Bre Whiteley
"From Scholastic to Graphix - this is what 14 years of book collecting looks like." --Saori Adams

"We keep books all throughout the house, but our 4-year-old has a few favorites that she likes to keep near her bed. These are the books my little one currently has in her bedroom. However, we also have a couple of bins filled with books throughout the house. We all LOVE books and read all the time!" --Dalyn Bartie
