GEN: Fiction Collection for PreK - 12 School

[Diane Averett <averett4@gloryroad.net>]

Netters,

I need the collective wisdom of this group and I've searched the
archives without finding an answer!   I work in a very small library
that serves 560+ students in grades PreK - 12.  We have to stay in this
same small room, but I feel I've just got to make some changes to the
fiction.  Now, all fiction is shelved together so beginning chapter
books by Johanna Hurwitz and Patricia Reilly Giff share shelf space with
John Grisham!  We do have our easy picture books housed in a different
area.

Should I pull all the young adult fiction (or books for about 6th grade
up), label, and house together?  Can anyone think of a better way to do
this?  I'm hoping someone on the list has a similar set-up and a great
idea!

The physical space is very limited so I can't really create a new
area....just shelves on one wall for YA and shelves on another wall for
the easier fiction.

Thanks for any ideas you might share.
