Hello! 

Wondering if you heard back from anyone about this.  I have had the same thought--and I have taken some of the titles found in the 808s (Engle's books in verse) and moved them to various areas to encourage circulation.

Thought I'd reach out to the collective on this one. How do you catalog your Realistic Non-fiction books? 

My fiction section is genrefied, but I'm considering putting Realistic non-fiction into a section in the genrefied area because I don't think these titles get as much circulation on the non-fiction shelves. For example, Hidden Figures. The story is awesome, but most kids don't go look in the non-fiction section for space/planets, etc. for a 'good book to read'. 

I would appreciate your thoughts...
