Connecting Church Mission to Cataloging Categories on Shelving Signs

Posted by Morlee Maynard on April 7, 2025 at 12:06 in Classification and Cataloging

We have another first! Our non-fiction shelf signage now has our church mission statement key words (Love, Grow, Serve, Go) connected to our Dewey categlories. A win-win for sure with our pastor and church staff. We use Dewey so the signs contain our approach to Dewey call numbers. Anyone else using the shelving signs to align with your church or synagogue mission and vision statements?

    Thank you! Amy used 3M command velcro strips. One on the shelf and one on the clipboard.

    This is a great idea! How are the signs attached?
