Genre-fying is all the rage in school libraries, but is it really worth it? Why genre-fy? It makes browsing easier, students discover new authors and titles within their preferred reading genre, and it can be adapted to suit the needs of your particular population. When you’re done you will know your collection better than ever before! In this session you’ll learn different methods for genre-fying, how to get students and community members involved and what to do with those pesky books that cross genres. Learn from our mistakes so you know what not to do! Come hear about two very different school libraries and their librarians’ experiences in the trenches of genrefication.
