These kids book storage hacks and solutions range from simple to “so freaking cool…” The one thing they all have in common: they help contain the rush of books.

Having children of different ages can lead to a LOT of books lying around. The more organized you keep your books, the more likely they will actually be read and enjoyed.   Having books stored neatly will encourage and foster your child’s love of reading.

The ideas below for book storage hacks will fit a wide range of styles. Pick one (or two!) to match your home and mood. Organizing your books has never been as much fun as this will be!
