Hi, Within the last year, we created a special section in our children's room for our series. We mainly did it for shelf space and logistics. We have a "series" sign and a poster that lists what series are there. We have the following in it: American Girls (all the fiction titles in the series) Little House Harry Potter Magyk Goosebumps Boxcar Children Redwall American Chillers/Michigan Chillers Series of Unfortunate Events Animorphs and Remnants Matt Christopher sport novels Baby-sitters club hardy boys heartland nancy drew the saddle club warriors/seekers We also house the Graphic Novels in the series section on two shelves w/graphic stickers on them to make them pop. This has very much helped w/kids who dig graphic novels. It is sort of goofy because we don't have the Rick Riordan series there or Gregor the Overlander or 39 clues, etc. We just went through the shelves and grabbed the ones that made sense to us. The kids get it and it didn't take long for the staff and pages to catch on that that is where they are housed. I recommend it and think it has helped. Thanks, Amy Nolan Children's Librarian St. Joseph Public Library ________________________________ From: JEN Jill Reyers <jenjr@llcoop.org> To: michlib-l@mail.mcls.org Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 10:25 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Series books question I would like to know if anyone has a policy or written rule for what you consider a series and when it is put in a series section. Do you even have a series section for children's books? Are graphic series put in the graphic section or the series section? I'm being overrun by rainbow fairies.
