New Teen Series Shelf!

If you've been in the library during the past few weeks, you know that we've been doing some major shifting and reorganizing. Sarah R. rearranged the children's nonfiction collection and freed up a whole new shelf for teen books!! The shelf is located right outside the door of the teen room. You can't miss it...I used fluorescent yellow for the display signs.

So when a librarian is given a whole new shelf to fill up, it is a thing of beauty. I considered a lot of different arrangements, but ultimately decided to separate out the teen series books from the regular collection. This is great for several reasons: 1) it makes series with different authors easier to find, 2) it frees up a lot of shelf space in the teen section, and 3) it may help popular books not go "missing."

The new teen series shelf includes any series in which we own five or more items. It is organized in alphabetical order by series title. Within each series, the books are alphabetical by title, not author or number. There is a complete list of the book series in bright yellow on the top shelf, for your reference. I also put dividers between the series. Come check it out!!
