We presently house our DVD collection on shelves on a wallboard. They must be flipped one by one to see behind the stack. We are thinking turntable shelving would make the DVDs more accessible. Would be interested in hearing what works well for you and where you acquired them. (purchased or made in house)
Thanks for your input. Almyra W. Johnson; Jefferson Baptist Church; Baton Rouge, LA

We use regular book shelves. We had boards stained to match the shelves and placed behind the DVD's to make them fit the shelf without sliding behind. You can look at them exactly as you would a book. They are processed with the Dewey so are easily tracked on the shelf.

Hi, Almyra,
The turntable might work well if you have a somewhere convenient to place it. We put our DVDs on a regular book shelf. We have placed a narrow board the length of the shelf behind the DVD cases to keep them from sliding back and getting "lost" and we have also used a spring curtain rod behind the DVD cases. The narrow board works better. Somehow, some gremlins get in the library sometimes and push the books and other items to the back of the shelves and the spring rod will move too -- the board will not! It must be a lot of fun to push all those books backwards!
Hope to see you at FBC, Clinton, MS in a couple of weeks at the Mississippi conference!
