I also use the E designation, with a purple sticker, and have a separate section
for math and science (with a dark green sticker). Not all of our E books, however,
are fiction. Every section in our library has its own color code (red for
"advanced" fiction--another word I really don't like, etc.).
I also like the Everybody designation, as many picture-book readers are third
graders and up. High school students also borrow them for some of their courses
and to use when they tutor younger children.
"A house with books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up
children without surrounding them with books. . .Children learn to read being in
the presence of books." (Heinrich Mann)
