First of all, I have to say that librarians are creative, forward-thinking, and imaginative. This is the case for Sofia D'Arcy, a middle school librarian from Houston ISD. She created signage from old weeded books...so for those of us wanting signage but not wanting to spend a lot of cash, there is a solution thanks to brilliant minds in the library world!
