Let the Genrefication Games Begin

Now that our labels are here, the first task has begun!

Our first task at moving the fiction section into genres is to place transparent colored labels on the existing spine label. The colors correspond to different genres.

Our color codes will be:
Green: Historical Fiction
Orange: Action/Adventure
Purple: Mystery/Suspense
Red: Horror/Thriller
White: Sports Fiction
Aqua: Paranormal
Blue: Realistic Fiction
Fluorescent Pink: Romance
Fluorescent Yellow: Fantasy
Gray: Dystopian
Burgundy: Science Fiction

Students are using the existing catalog to look for the genre. Some MARC records, however, don't list it. Our backup plan had been GoodReads...Naturally, we discovered that GoodReads will not load correctly on a chromebook. Not a big problem, but making a few books a little more difficult to label.

My library assistants are currently working on A-Dec...the center library shelves. When those are done, we'll begin on the tall shelves at the back of the library. This step will take a little while!
