[ISLMA-Share] biography organization

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I see so many great ideas for arranging books so that kids find what they
are looking for on the shelves.  I still like to stick to Dewey so that
kids can walk in their public library and not feel lost.  There are some
GREAT options here.  I have also seen great discussions on alternate ways
to shelve easy fiction.  I would LOVE to turn my library upside down and
redo some things.  Seems VERY daunting!!  Who wants to help?  LOL   I guess
I just need to start with a well thought out plan!
