They continue to live here still, and the University of Michigan owes its creation to them. The University of Michigan Library is deeply indebted to the Wyandot and Anishinaabe Peoples, and we still have much work to do in order to honor the intent and spirit of the treaty upon which we were founded.

Non-Dewey Nonfiction
by Jocelyn Levin 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Hi All, If your library has their adult or children's nonfiction items arranged by BISAC, "neighborhoods", topics, or another non-dewey system, could you please send me an email with the name and address of your library along with any details you think are worth sharing? We're considering options and would like to know who out there is doing something different. Thanks to the TLN libraries who have already responded, I know that Romulus and Garden City have non-dewey organization for all or some of their collection. I also know Ann Arbor's branches other than Main have BISAC organization for their nonfiction titles. Here at Lyon Township, we have a collection of about 10,250 adult nonfiction items and 5,500 juvenile nonfiction items. Thanks! Jocelyn Jocelyn Levin, MLIS Youth Services Librarian jlevin(a)ltpl.org **Please note new email address** *My Pronouns: She/Her/Hers - See **www.mypronouns.org* <http://www.mypronouns.org/>* to learn more.* Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S.
