Changing up the Library Spaces

Spring Cleaning

Moving Fiction from one side of the library to the other plus keeping the books in order by author.

My co-librarian Rhonda completed the genrefication of the fiction books a couple of years ago. Fiction has the color code labels but we decided to keep the books in order by author’s name.  Several of the YA authors, especially, write books in different genres. Our students have favorite authors so they wanted to go grab the next books in their fav writer’s series. 

In less than two weeks, we moved the whole library collection by switching the fiction and nonfiction sections. To make the nonfiction collection fit into its new home, over 2,000 books were weeded. Drastic cuts took no prisoners of any books that had not been checked out in recent times.
