WANT TO KNOW A MERCHANDISING SECRET?

Books look their best when lined up neatly at the front of a shelf, not pushed right to the back, hiding in the shadows!

Many libraries with deeper flat shelving are discovering the benefits of our Book Alignment Strips, keeping spine-out books neat, tidy and easy to access.

These clever little strips are:

* Available in two depths to suit your shelving

* Easy to reposition as needed

* Powder-coated to match your shelf colour, so the books, not the strips, are the stars of the show!

* Affordable and proudly manufactured right here in Australia.

It's a small change that makes a big difference to how your library looks and how your collection is presented. Easy secured with optional rubber tabs to hold in place if needed.

Ready to bring your books out of the shadows? Call us on 1300 727 231 to order yours today!

RECENT PROJECT: SMITHFIELD LIBRARY - Cairns Libraries QLD

Design, shelving and product selection were all successfully completed online, creating a streamlined and collaborative process from concept through to completion. The result is a welcoming, easy-to-navigate library with clearly defined zones supporting a wide range of activities and learning styles.

Flexible joinery has also been incorporated throughout the space, giving library staff the freedom to easily adapt displays as collections, programs and presentation needs change.

AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURED, AND MADE TO LAST

When you invest in library furniture and shelving, where it comes from matters.

Raeco manufactures our steel shelving right here in Australia, and around 80% of our furniture range is also manufactured in Australia.

That means more than supporting local manufacturing. It means products designed specifically for demanding library environments, shorter supply chains, quality materials and long-term durability.

Our Australian manufactured ranges are backed by long warranties, including a lifetime structural warranty on steel shelving and 10-year warranties on furniture.

With over 60 year's manufacturing experience for libraries, we see the best value is not always the cheapest product on day one. It’s the one that keeps doing its job for years to come.

SMALL CHANGE, BIG DIFFERENCE!

You don’t need a renovation budget to make your library look better.

Small merchandising changes can improve presentation, make collections easier to browse and help demonstrate the value of future investment.

Replacing some flat shelves with display shelves, or if space is tight, replace flat shelves with browser tubs - especially in junior zones.

These small changes are very low cost PLUS browser tubs hold more books than flat shelves, enable easier browsing and more face out display.
