When searching for a book to read or for your favorite author, here are some tips:
Most library books are alphabetized by the author’s last name in various categories. If you look at the endcaps of the shelves, you will see we have collections for Fiction, Mystery Fiction, Biography, Nonfiction, War, Western, Christian Fiction, and Religion.
Another helpful hint: Let’s say you love books by Nora Roberts. You would find her books in the Fiction area, but she may have books in the Large Print area.
Most book series by an author are shelved by the title, not by the series. The exception of this is John Patterson books. We placed his popular series first on the shelves, then the rest of his books are shelved alphabetically by title.
Looking for nonfiction? Many libraries put nonfiction into categories (you may be familiar with the Dewey Decimal System). We file by the author’s last name.
Autobiography and biography books are filed by the last name of the subject you want to know better and in a separate area from fiction books.
Please limit your selections to five items and return them to the cart on the right as you walk into the library. We also have puzzles and movies.
If you have any questions, call Sherry Fann at 480-883-1167. Our volunteers look forward to your visit in 2025.
