In the 2022-2023 school year, we decided to reorganize our nonfiction section to make it more inviting and accessible to our high school students. This school year, we were at different high schools. Come hear updates about how we left the Dewey Decimal system behind and recategorized nonfiction, as well as, what the new system looks like in two different school and counties. We will be sharing the shelf labels, spine stickers, and all of the planning and reorganizing involved.
