Looking for ideas to make bookends

I need some bookends for a school library. Any easy ideas? It need to be not too large, just to separate them a bit. I am a novice librarian, and not real talented.
Thank you.

Large white pebbles could work nicely. Perhaps you can write some quotes or messages on the pebbles with a Sharpie to encourage the kids to read and discover all the beautiful adventures waiting for them in the pages of a book.

Think rusty junk that you can clear coat - buy the standard black metal bookends at an office supply store and then add gears, interesting mechanics and perhaps queue the bookends to the topic.

You can buy short tension curtain rods to set vertically to keep books from falling over.

Wood blocks, paint scrap wood. Or, garage sale baby blocks glued together.

I guess I have a few questions first as I have several ideas. Age group of the children, your budget, and how many you would need. The white pebble idea is cute but probably not a good idea for a school, with lots of kids safety wise, would be great in a home library. I do like the curtain rod idea and it would probably be pretty reasonable.

You might contact your local highschool shop teacher and see if they could make some simple book ends in wood for you as a class project.
