Book holder thing

[Chriscross3234]

I feel like an idiot asking this question, but what I'm looking for the things that hold up books within a bookshelf to keep them upright. You see a lot of these in libraries that hold books upright so that they don't lean and fall over. I have been searching for 10 minutes and I can't come up with a name for these things or where I can purchase a couple of em.

Goes to show that college kids know nothing... up until this point, I never even knew they were called that, lol.

Are you thinking of the plastic book brackets that lightly clamp onto the shelf, and can slide side-to-side as you add or remove books?

They don't really clamp onto the shelf, this was what I was looking for. Can't believe we are having a discussion about this :laugh:.
