How to Find Your Way
  Around a Library
Types of Books


There are two types of books that you’ll find in
every library that you go into...fiction & non
fiction.
Bigger, public libraries my have many
“specialized” sections, but you will still only find
two types of books.
Fiction

These are the “fake”
books. They can
include chapter
books, picture books,
and series books.
Fiction

These books are sorted alphabetically by the
author’s last name.
When you look at the white label on the spine of
the book (at our library) you will see something
like this...

                                    J
      E
                                   FIC
     AND                           BLU
Elementary Fiction

In our library, these are
the picture books or
any short “chapter”
book that is an AR
level blue, red, and
some green & brown.

        E
       SCH
Junior Fiction

These are the books in
our library that are
bigger/longer chapter
books written at an AR
level green, brown,
yellow, and some red or       J
purple.                      FIC
                             ERI
They can also include         J
series books.                FIC
                             KOR
What’s on the Label?

Indicates that it is an elementary fiction book.


                    E
                   SCH

    First three letters of the author’s last
        name (which is how we sort).
What’s on the Label?

Indicates that it is a junior fiction book.


                  J
                 FIC
                 BLU

 First three letters of the author’s last
     name (which is how we sort).
What’s on the Label?


When you ask where a book is located, I’ll tell you
it’s on the north or west wall (if you’re looking for
fiction) and then give you the letters from the
author’s name.
That means you need to look at the BOTTOM
line on the label!
Sorting Fiction

  J                  J                  J
 FIC                FIC                FIC
 BLU                BUC                BLA



What order do these books go in?
What wall would they be on in our library?
Sorting Fiction

 SAG                SAC                SHA
