Hi, I am a new school media specialist in a few elementary school libraries. I just organized the books in sections - Fiction, Non-fiction (by Dewey), Easy-Read and Reference. The books before were arranged so the kids could find them easily, such as animals, weather, sports, etc, but not necessarily in Dewey order. So, the kids are not familiar with Dewey and how to find books since they haven't had a librarian in a long time. I should also mention there is not a working card catalog. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to label the sections, so the kids will understand and be able to locate books? If I make general Dewey sections for 100's, 200's, 300's etc., I don't think they will understand, although I know I have to explain how it works as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
