Tasks:     I have been planning to convert our Fiction Section into Genre Areas (more like a book store, more appealing to our teen patrons):  Mystery, Sci Fi, Romance, etc.  This will require us to figure out what area each book fits into, using our wits, the book, the OPAC, LOC, Titlewave, and any other online resource we can get our hands on.  Then we'll sticker/label the books, input location info into Alexandria, and arrange the books accordingly.  If we have time, I also would like to
create signage, but I may have some teens help me with this.
