One thought about this: if we used more user focused shelving systems, would it be easier for folks to find things they don’t want to ask for?
This is making the rounds on social media.

I like how visible this looks! And, one suggestion for improving something like this could be “take a photo or take a flyer” at the bottom so an individual has more discreet options of viewing the dewey decimal suggestions. There’s value in how big and public the display looks, and there’s value in giving the individual discreet ways to reference this display without feeling uncomfortable to stand in front of the display for too long.
I really like this idea! It also think it brings awareness to patrons that the library has books of all topics. For example, a teenager may be having issues with bullying at school and not even know that the library has books that could help them with that. I also think @innerchildlibrarian has a great idea with the flyers which would add a bit more privacy.
