Hi Everyone,
My high school library's fiction collection is genrefied. Currently, there
is a realistic fiction section and a general fiction section. For those of
you who have a genrefied collection, do you distinguish between the two
sections, or do you just have a general fiction category? I've noticed my
students rarely look at the general fiction collection, so I was hoping to
move those into the other genre categories, but then books like *The Art of
Racing in the Rain* or *Circe* don't seem to fit any category. I know there
are many instances where there's no perfect fit, but I would love to hear
your thoughts about the general fiction / realistic fiction categories.
Thank you!
