I haven't categorized all our biographies but I did create a sports section with fiction and non-fiction (including biographies) shelved together by sport. I had enough books on football, baseball, basketball, & soccer to fit separate sections then have a section for all other sports. It has been a popular area of the library this year!

Hello,


After genrefying my teen fiction section, I'm thinking of tackling my biography section in a similar fashion.  We have several classes that read biographies/memoirs and I would like to split them into categories to make it easier for the students to find one that they are interested in and/or fits their assignment.  I'm having a harder time coming up with categories than I did when I was genrefying the fiction section.  Have any of you have done this? If so,  what are your categories?  Any/all suggestions appreciated! Here is what I am thinking for categories: military, celebrities (singers/actors), historical & political figures, athletes, inspirational/overcoming adversity, scientists/explorers/inventors, medical, crime.  Would love your thoughts on this...


Thanks & have a great day!
