[ISLMA-Share] color genrefying & categories

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have genre spine labels on all my fiction - like these from demco -

http://www.demco.com/Category/Library-Supplies/Labels/Subject-Classification/_/N-132

So no color "key" is needed.

Good Luck
