I ended up with Adventure, Animal, Humor, Historical, Fantasy, Mystery, Christmas, Science Fiction, Scary, and Realistic genre sections. Each section is labeled with spine stickers (from Demco), and a sign on the end of the row to guide the students. They are in abc order by author within their genre.
It has definitely taken some getting used to by me and the students. I did scan all the books into subcategories in Destiny, so when you look up a title it will say where it is located. I am very much enjoying being able to point students to the genre they are looking for and watching the look of amazement when I tell them that all the mysteries or scary books are in one place. I haven't tried running reports to see what the statistics are telling me, but I'll tackle that next year. I have plans to begin the school year with a simple scavenger hunt!
