[CASL-L] Genre label

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hi Matt,

We are grades 5/6.  We do use Classic labels, but will genrify based on
what we think will circulate the most.  Why not use the other labels first
on the spine (Romance, SciFi), then place the classic label underneath it?
In Destiny, you can tag it under the other genre so that you know where to
find it if a patron is looking for it.  Just a thought.  I am not sure high
school students flock to Classics often.

Respectfully,
