Re: k = 3 Orginization

[Anne Timbs <timbsa@K12TN.NET>]

I shelve all of my nonfiction together E and upper levels.  However, I have
a fiction section and an E section.  I am in a K-6 school.  Would it be
easier to shelve the E nonfiction separately too?  This is just my second
year as a librarian so I am still learning a lot. I find that most of the
time those looking for E nonfiction are teachers who want to use the books
for a unit in their classrooms, and some upper grades students who are on a
lower reading level, but like the nonfiction books.  I had never thought of
separating them, but maybe I should.
