[CASL-L] Revamping Picture Books and Easy Non-Fic

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Dear Christine,

Please share the results you receive! We've been working on genrefying the
Upper School fiction section of Rumsey's library. It's an awesome process.
We'll tackle the Lower School fiction section next year. Then, the picture
book section after that which is a whole other "story" to genrefy. Since
you're up in my area now, you're welcome to come by my library and/or I'm
happy to share what I've done, though it's with fiction right now.

Best,
~Val
