Genrefying your fiction collection is one of the single best ways to spike circulation, empower student readers, and make your space genuinely easy to navigate. Ten years after ditching traditional arrangements in her own high school library, Kelsey Bogan is sharing the real talk, practical workflows, and hard-earned lessons learned along the way. Join us as we dive into the why and how of collection reorganization, tackle common hurdles, and explore the awesome perks of going genre-first (spoiler alert: your circulation numbers are going to love it!). You'll walk away with a clear roadmap for how to get started, plus ideas for how to take your genrefication to the next level if you've already begun.
