<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>If a NF book LOOKS like a picture book and seems to be of general interest, I usually shelve it with the picture books. Most of our E NF 398 collection is anthologies, or books that a casual browser in the picture book section is unlikely to choose.<br><br>Sara<br><br>Sara B. Simpkins

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><div><br></div><div>Jana Hannigan, Hood River Co. Library District<br></div></span>
