Hi all-

Where do you shelve light novels in a genrified high school library?

I’m starting to get requests for light novels—some tied to manga/anime, others adapted from webcomics or web novels. Since I don't have the space or budget to purchase a lot of these or to create a standalone light novel section, I’m debating between two options:

  1. Adding the few titles into our existing Manga/Graphic Novel section.

  2. Shelving them within their corresponding prose genre sections (e.g., Fantasy, Sci-Fi).

How do you handle these in your space, and what works best for student discovery?
