Hi all,

I am conducting some research on providing a map in each department (youth, adult) that would show patrons where to find certain items.

Do any libraries have anything similar to this that work well or that patrons have been receptive to?

Does anyone feel having something like this is not absolutely necessary, and maybe does not get much use?

I also wonder if you have color coded any signage in your departments to differentiate varying collections. For example, a green sign indicating where the board books are which have green stickers on them, a yellow sign indicating where to find early reader nonfiction level 1 which has yellow stickers on them, and so on.

If you could respond with what your library uses for signage in the building, I would greatly appreciate it. Even if it does not line up with the ideas listed above - it's always great to hear how other libraries are serving their communities.

Thank you so much for your help.
