Exciting Change to Parkview Middle School Library
I am in the process of genrefying the middle school library. “Genrefying” means organizing books by subject, category, or genre so that patrons can find materials that interest them easier. It is an ideal way of organizing materials for people who are looking for a type of book rather than a specific title or author. By genrefying the middle school library, it helps students find quality titles they may have never thought of trying. Through genrefying the collection, it will allow me to observe students and the genres they flock to. It also specifies circulation statistics by showing what genres receive the most and least checkouts.
Genrefication is a large undertaking and will most likely take the entire school year to complete. Genrefying isn't one and done but an evolving process that will change as I look for better ways to engage them as readers!
