With a lot of sweat equity on the part of my Library Science students, Library Assistants, and some great volunteers from the National Honor Society, the books are all labeled (except for some that are still checked out)! Not only that, but in just 3 days, we managed to move over 9000 books from their alphabetized order onto tables and then back into alphabetized genre sections!
The only job left to finish, which is up to me, is changing the sublocation of each book in the library catalog. This way students can look for books by genre or locate a title in it's new genre location. Action/Adventure/Survival, Dystopian, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Horror/Thriller, Mystery/Suspense, and Paranormal are finished with the update to their records. Realistic Fiction, Relationships, Science Fiction, and Sports Fiction still remain. Our goal was to be finished by spring break. We should be finished next week! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
