Are you wondering if you should genrefy your library and what's the easiest way to do it? Do you need to move your library because of getting new flooring, remodeling, or getting a new space? Do you need some guidelines as to which books you should weed? This book will help answer those questions.

After hearing "Where are the spooky books?" countless times over the years, the author genrefied her library. Now the beloved spooky books are in one spot with fiction next to the related nonfiction. All sorts of genres and subjects were reorganized in an easily accessible manner.

Patrons can quickly find what they'd like to read. Shelving is faster also. Best of all, books that had been overlooked for years suddenly started circulating.

In addition to explanations of how an elementary and a secondary library each arranged by the Dewey Decimal System became one genrefied K-12 library, many color photographs document the process.

Genrefying has helped to build a reading culture, and books that had been previously overlooked for many years were suddenly being checked out. If not sure about genrefying your library, mini-genrefication ideas are also included.

Seeing how someone else does something can make it easier to determine what is the best route for you and your library. There's not just one right way to genrefy. There's not just one right way to organize your library, regardless of which system you use. This book starts with one way that worked for one librarian who encourages you to find your own way.

This book has been updated periodically. Also included is an activity using genre bookmarks to acclimate your students to genrefication.

Where Are the Spooky Books? How to Genrefy Your Library also contains many tips if you ever have to box up your library to move or renovate it. Genrefication means moving thousands of books even if your library isn't switching locations. When redoing your library for any reason, every helpful tip counts.
