[aisle] Graphic Novel Shelving

[Jill Bennin]

At the high school we have graphic novels, graphic biographies, and graphic
nonfiction - we give them all the GB call number for Graphic Book, and then
do alphabetical by author for fiction, GB B first three of topic (so the
autobiography of Anne Frank is GB B Fra), and then Graphic Nonfiction is GB
and the Dewey number.  If we don't have enough to separate them in a
building we just do fiction and nonfiction - we just added biography a
couple of years ago at the high school because we were seeing more of a
need.  I think whatever works for your space and your students is the best
solution for you!
