Impact

“I love how all your truck books are in one spot.”

“It’s a lot easier to find things

now.”

“Before we always went to this row (Fiction) instead of the Non-fiction rows. We find books now that

we might not have found before.”

“We really like this, we’ll have to try this in our library.” –
