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

Hello Librarians!
I visited the Community Family Learning Center (CFLC) located at KidsPlay in Torrington last week where this small reference library has been totally reorganized in an amazing way. There are many different subjects labeled and within each are all the picture books as well as non-fiction. I don't want to really call it Genrefied, because it is more than just genres. Being that this is a parenting resource library, it is not exactly what I would imagine a K-3 library would look like. I am looking to do something similar in the elementary schools that I am reorganizing. I love the idea that kids can go to a section (animals, friendship, cultural diversity, ABCs, etc.) and find all the books on that topic.
Has anyone else done this? If so, can you share your subject lists and could I possibly visit your library?
Thank you!
Christine
