I would appreciate information on this too. We don't group by genres now but are considering it!

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. If you have either consolidated fiction or separated it into genres, how did it go for you? In particular, how did your patrons respond?
