New DVD’s

Remember those library classes in elementary school where a librarian would patiently explain that books are divided into two main categories: stories (fiction) and information (nonfiction)? Well librarians are still grouping materials into categories: fiction, nonfiction, mysteries, science fiction, audiobooks, playaways … the list goes on and on.

For example, our DVD collection is organized into fiction (i.e. movies and TV shows) and nonfiction (how-to, travel, science, test prep, exercise, history, etc). All DVDs are on the Lower Level. The nonfiction DVDs are shelved by Dewey Decimal number. Movies and TV shows are grouped alphabetically by the first letter in the title.
