Concepts Of Print List

*** Note: For school librarians, I have included three different pages where there is a call number shown. This is because so many libraries use different types of call numbers. One of the pages has no call number so you can write your own in if you need to. There are also different posters that show a barcode on the book and no barcode on the book. If you are a classroom teacher you may not want to teach these. This way you can print out just the posters that you need.
