Shelving:

• Felt stories are to be shelved in alphabetical order based on title. 

       When shelving a felt story that begins with "The" or "A", skip over it and look for the next word in the title.

Example:

1- Dress for the season

2- The foolish tortoise

3- Franklin in the dark

• Do not stuff the plastic container tight with the felt stories. 
  • It is ok if only 1 felt story is in a container
  • The goal is to make them easy to remove and replace while browsing
