[Michlib-l] Shelving Adult Fiction by genre, or not

[Amber Hughey]

Ours is all together, but we have genre stickers for mystery, romance, sci-fi & western. We try & choose what genre it fits in best, but some definitely cross genres. With the stickers, our patrons can still browse easily enough since the stickers separate them.

As genres become blurrier and authors move between genres more freely, we are considering combining these genre areas into one large Fiction Area. However, we also believe that many patrons appreciate being able to browse their preferred genre, so enjoy the area as it is configured now.
