The Children's Lit area is divided into sections:

• Fiction (chapter books)
• Picture books
• Oversize picture books ("Big Books".  Great for story time!)
• Non-fiction books
• Reference (encyclopedias & dictionaries)
• Biography
• Teaching Materials (including manipulatives & textbooks)

Chapter books and picture books are shelved alphabetically by author's last name. Non-fiction and Reference books are shelved in Dewey call number order by subject. Biography books are shelved alphabetically by the subject's name ("L" for Lincoln).

After searching the catalog, the book's Availability and Location will be displayed beneath the book's summary:
