[aisle] biography labeling within nonfiction

[Ann Marie Jinkins]

We put bright orange tape at the top of each biography's spine, and it's
really easy for our students to see those biographies among the other books
in the Dewey section. Instead of the author's name on the spine label, we
use the first three letters of the subject's last name.
