<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>A few years ago, I took most of our 398's out of nonfiction and put them into the fiction picture book section, where they now circulate much better than they had been. What I left in 398 were collections or anthologies of fairy tales or folk tales. This seems to work well for our patrons. <br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Lorene Forman</div><div><br>On Jun 17, 2016, at 4:14 PM, Karen Fischer <<a href="mailto:kfischer@cityofsalem.net">kfischer@cityofsalem.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div>We don't have space in our picture book area for an influx of fairy tale/folklore books. We, too, have them in 398. Depending on your space, Folklore and fairy tales may be a great section to pull out separate from most of the non-fiction and feature this collection.</div>

<div>Hi Crew,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'd love to hear your views on this subject: what do you choose to put in your 398 "Tales and Legends etc" section of Non-Fiction? </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Here's my quandry: I have many, many beautiful picture books in this 398 section that simply don't circ because people don't go into non-fic very often. Lon Po Po, for example, the award winning red-riding hood story, is cataloged in our 398. <br><br>How do you decide if it should be "Picture Book" or a 398 title? <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Then there's a title "Read-Aloud African American Stories", an anthology, that, although beautifully illustrated, seems well placed in 398. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>How do you make these kids of choices? I'd love to hear your input.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
