One of my FAVORITE things in my room this year is my new book bins! I mean just LOOK at how pretty these are!
This is how my my library used to look.
The bins were $1 bins from one of the dollar stores. They held a lot of books, but they weren't very sturdy, always fell over, and were constantly cracking.
So I decided since I was moving schools, it was perfect timing t redo my library! I did a little Facebook survey of where people got their library bins...and did my research on the ones everyone mentioned.
My decision was easy.
So I got a TON of new bins! They are all over my room! These wonderful bins came from Steps to Literacy.
They are so sturdy. They aren't flimsy at all. And they are pretty big! I only had about 2-3 books (in all of my thousands) that didn't fit in it.
Not only am I using them for book bins, but I'm using them inside their team buckets. They will house their offices (test hiders), team folders, and the books they borrow from me.
I also have some that I'm using to story all of my supplies, materials, and resources I will need for the week. I used to use the drawers in my rolling craft cart or the pockets in my hanging pocket chart for file folders, but I really like how I can put bulky items in these tubs.
It took about 65-70 book bins to redo my whole library (and I had about 10 extra that I used NOT for my library shelves). And as you can see, I have quite the extensive library. ha! So you can really fit a lot in these bins too!
TWO winners will get 1 set of 8 bins - the colors will be orange, lime green, purple, bright blue, red, yellow, green, and blue.
Want to win a set?? Enter below in the rafflecopter! I will pick a winner Sunday night!

I would have to use primary colors and fun colors. Everything in my classroom is rainbow coordinated so I'd use red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I love how your library turned out!
I could actually use any of the colors!! My sorta theme is bright chevron!! This would be such an awesome gift!

You can never have too many book bins....or books. I think you have more out than I do. I would love a set in the primary. It works with my Hollywood theme. But I do love your color theme in your room. So bright and cheery. As always I enjoy catching up on your blog.

Organizing my library is on my list for the first week of school. I don't have a color theme in my room so any set would work!!
Love the primary colors bins! They would be great for organizing lots of things in my room!
Your library (and room) look amazing. The fun colors would work best, but I like the primary as well. I work at a small private school and we buy everything, so I've already spent $75 just on bins and still need more. This would be such a great giveaway to win, thanks for a chance!
Catherine

The primary colored bins would work for my room. I bought some book boxes from Steps to Literacy a few years ago and I love their durability.
I would use the primary colors with my superhero theme. The kiddos in my classroom are the superheroes in their lives. Many have to over come many obstacles before coming to school each morning. They would love to select books and other work materials from these "better-than" what we have bins.
I love how your library is organized. These bins would make a great addition to my classroom. Thanks for sharing and for having such an awesome giveaway.
I would LOVE the blue and green bins! They would match my room perfectly!!
Wow! That looks so amazing with the color coordinated bins! I love it!

I have book bins that are really faded and some are cracked. I would love to win a set from Steps to Literacy! The colors are so bright and they are a bit wider. Thank you for the chance to win.
I have a rainbow theme. Therefore, both the Primary colors or the Fun colors would work in my classroom.
I would LOVE these!!!!! I need new bins for my library too!!!!!!! I would love the FUN COLORS set!!!! They go very well with my SWEET TREAT classroom theme!!!!
I have a blue and green color scheme. I would want the blue and green bins just like yours. My boxes right now are all different but I just don't have the resources yet to change them. poohm12@hotmail.com
I would pick fun colors, I have lime, orange, and teal mostly in my room.
There is nothing better than new library bins to perk up a classroom! I have been using the same ones for 15+ years, so these would be a nice update!
I moved to a new grade this year. I would love to have the green ones for my frog theme.
Forgot to add... I love the fun colors!

Fingers crossed!! I am in the process of re doing my library, and I would LOVE these
I would use the primary colors because that's my theme! I love how your library turned out!
It is so funny. I am always looking for new things to make my classroom look better. My principal told me my room is always so cute and that she is sending people to me for my organizing/decluttering advice this year! I would love the bins that are the fun colors. They truly would fit my theme and all of the colors that I am going with this year. Thank you for the chance. BTW, I just love, love your pics of your new library!! :)

Great giveaway! Your library looks amazing! I would choose the fun colors set.
I want the bright blue and green for my sea theme...I wish SO badly that I ordered from Steps to Literacy. I am naive I guess because I ordered some from Really GS and two of them arrived last week CRACKED! Ugh, I don't have time to deal with that... Thank you, kathy ThePaperPumpkin@aol.com
Love Steps to Literacy! I use their bins as the kids' book boxes and am always adding them for library and supplies as well. Thanks for this!
I love the fun colors. I declared this the year of library organization - both in the classroom and my children's rooms at home.
I hate the bins I have now!! I would love these in primary colors!!! :)
I love these bins! I would use a variety of the colors. I don't have a color scheme in my room.
I keep wondering about your book bin labels. Are they in your store?

I love this idea! Your library is so neat and organized.
Great bins for multiple uses!
My color scheme is ocean/beach so I would love all of these colors!
Love the colors of your bins and how you have organized your library. I'm in need of doing this for mine. Thanks for sharing the information.
I'd have to copy-cat you and go with the lime green and bright blue! I already have those colors going in my room, although I haven't done nearly the job you have with coordinating. I still have those $1 Dollar Store bins in my library! ;)
I would love to have the book boxes any color! I can find many uses for them!
These are awesome! I love them!
The fun colors would work best in my room. Love these, they seem very sturdy!
I love the colors in your classroom…I use blue, green and some yellow..we are the FROG classroom at my school. ;) Your library make-over looks fabulous. I am in the midst of changing my numbers to letters (if they change it again, I don't know what I will do…I have a lot of books like you do!)… Have a great school year! :)
The fun colors for sure!! I have a ton of books that need a home!! Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!
I would love these! My husband thinks I'm a container/bin addict and gives me a hard time when I buy more. He couldn't get mad if I won them though. :-)

Your library looks amazing! There are so many great uses for these bins. I would use them to hold my student's notebooks for their table groups.
The Fun Colors set would work best with my current decor, but I'd take anything over not having any at all!!!
These bins look amazing! Unfortunately my library is a mix and match right now and I don't have the funds to replace it. I also love how you used them for your students' supplies and your daily supplies. I will be bookmarking this page so I can remember where you got them from for the future! :)
Forgot to say I would choose the Fun Colors! My room is bright and cheery with these colors.
I use a different brand bin, but these look much nicer. The bins I use crack and tend to tip over.
