You can also use the binder clips by clipping them to the map and then
hanging the "arms" of the clip on a pushpin in the wall or any other type of
hook. If the maps are fragile, we put some cardstock around the edge of the
map where we attach the clip.

As a new maps librarian, I need your advice. I would like to temporarily
hang maps on white boards or bare walls for use during instruction
sessions and I would like to use a method to hang them that has minimal
impact on either the maps or the vertical surface.

The best idea I have heard is to use those black binder clips to clip
the map to the lip (assuming there is one) at the top of the white board.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Many thanks,

Barbara
