![Book Display Chains are a great way to highlight books that the kids might miss on the library shelves.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUkvKS1ovBo3swJ1rCegOEQWfNLC6u49dtZ-l78iH0ZvUq7_IOXRXSIfz_U2rYk4smfvVeG4CNxJ4UjE4zxzd9vuqUw4S9WLRyUnSGUiSuwwYhOz3TrdhhaoOZFg3h1RTR3g5dH44dNnQ/s400/Slide1.png)
I am always trying to find new ways to get books into the hands of my students. I have a huge library full of great novels, but sometimes they get lost in the shelves. Kids just don't notice them all because of the volume of books available. So this year, I came up with a way to allow the students to notice those hidden books and get their hands on them --- Book Display Chains.
from Amazon
(this is my affiliate link) and hung them on the wall. Then, I placed between 5 and 6 books on each chain. The books just hung there on the chain, prominently on display.

When a student wanted to read the book, they simply walked up to the chain, took it off, and walked back to their seat to read. I then would replace the book with another from my library that needed a little spotlight love. The student, when finished reading the book that was grabbed from the chain, would place that book back in our library.
And that is it. I found that by having this chain display, the students truly were reading books that they wouldn't have otherwise. This really did help to highlight lesser known books and I really love it for that. If you would like to see this in use (by me ;) ) you can watch
this video here on my IGTV.
Have you ever used any type of display system like this? What was it? Please share below!
