I am thinking of putting all my memoirs in 922 (next to my biographies in 921 on a separate wall). My concern is that by not putting it into it's dewey subject number that I'll be missing kids who want to read books about people's stories from that subject. For example, sports is big concern. It's the most known and used section, so they all know it's 700's. But if I take the sports memoirs out of the 700's and put it in 922, it's one more place for them to look for a book they want.
