[aisle] Genre-fying

[Lynn Klopfleisch]

Todd, I'm interested in what you are doing with K-2 nonfiction.  How the
item records look, spine labels, shelving.  Anything to make life easier
for the students and my clerk, too.

In fact, I'm interested to know the overall layout of my colleague's
elementary libraries.   What sections do you have?  Everybody, Picture,
Fiction, etc.  Does anyone do Junior Fiction or something between E and
Fic?  How do you determine which books go into your sections?  (Took over a
library that was always shelved by AR level and ready to change it.)

Thanks!
