 I saw someone named Deborah Kaplan on Facebook talk about doing this and I LOVED the idea.  She did for HS, but I am considering how to make it work for K-5.  Love the organization..

Hi, everyone!
I'm wanting to redo the organization of my nonfiction section and am considering just ditching Dewey. Have you done this?! What system did you put in its place (genrefication like a bookstore, recategorized numbers, etc.)? What do you like and/or dislike about your current system?
My overall goal in reorganizing this section is to make sure that books on like subjects are actually together (like the protest and social justice books actually in or near history sections) and to help me evaluate the books in these sections better as well.

Thanks in advance for any advice and opinions!Amy PhillipsRiverside Brookfield High SchoolLibrary Media Specialistaebromberg at gmail.comphillipsa@rbhs208.net847-722-6169
