BiblioGenre™
Literary genre is a collection of
books with a similar theme or style. Some genres become whole sections of a
library: biography, picture books, nonfiction. Others are shelved together
within the classifications: folktales (fables, tall tales, fairy tales
and myths) and poetry in its various forms.
Within the fiction section, it
becomes trickier to identify the genres: historical fiction, mystery, realistic
fiction, fantasy, science fiction, sport stories, etc. Usually librarians attach
small stickers to the spines of the books to identify the different genres
because the books are shelved by the author's last name. The library user must
be browsing at the shelf to see this sticker signage. The literary genre
graphics can have multiple purposes: decorate the fiction section, remind users
of the different kinds of reading available to them, serve as signage to feature
a special genre collection.
These designs are kept simple,
easy to "read," with images that are recognizable to all ages. The background
colors are easy to match to fabric swatches or paint samples.
