My library recently purchased a number of these Shelf Wiz labels for throughout the adult reading stacks. They are findability tool and one part reader advisory resource. So far we have received a lot of positive feedback from patrons.

Much thanks for my friend, Kaytlyn, who is an avid library user and pointed out that we should put the collection location on the labels as well.
