[aisle] Middle School Fiction / Non-fiction percentages

Generally speaking they used to say 60% fiction and 40% nonfiction, but I
feel like more and more collections are leaning into fiction and relying
more heavily on databases and online resources.

My collection still reflects that percentage but I am working on more
online resources and narrative nonfiction.  I hope to get to 70%/30% next
year.

Hope this helps,
