Ditto: All fiction (Juvenile, Youth and Adult) is alphabetical by author, with the appropriate genre stickers on the spine. Our catalog will search by genre, so that helps. We do keep adding more Genre Stickers too😊 On Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 10:46 AM Amber Hughey via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
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.

Good Morning,
For a long time we have grouped our Adult Fiction books into several major genre areas: General Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction and Westerns. 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?
