[Michlib-l] Children's Folklore/Fairy Tales/Mythology Collection

[Killian Weston]

Hi Everyone,

We are looking at changing how we organize/label our children's 398s. Right
now, the entirety of our 398s is pulled to a section that is labeled as
Folklore, Fairy Tales, & Mother Goose, but each book is still labeled and
arranged by its Dewey number. It's not easily browsable, and we get a lot
of requests that require going through the whole section to find similar
materials.

Right now, I'm looking at potentially sorting into broad categories of
Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Mythology, and Mother Goose and then breaking
those categories down further. I know there are other libraries that do
this to some extent or another, and I'd love to hear from you about what
works, what doesn't, etc. I'd love to hear from those at libraries where
this is more recent change as well as those who have had that be the norm
for awhile.

Feel free to respond off list to this email or to my work email,
westonki at btpl.org. If there's interest, I'm happy to share a compilation of
responses later - just let me know!

Thank you!
