Info2Go! Reimagining Nonfiction

Recorded live on May 1, 2025 The Nampa Public Library reorganized their adult and youth nonfiction areas, reorganizing and relabeling over 31,000 items away from the Dewey Decimal System and into a bookstore layout. Organized by subject, the bookstore model allowed us to group similar items under one section instead of being spread out. For example, the adult nonfiction parenting books were located in the 155s, 306s, and 649s. They are now located under the “Parenting” category, making it easier for patrons to see what we have and find something that meets their needs and interests. Our main goal was to improve our patron’s library experience by making books easier to find. This shift aligns with how libraries are changing to better serve their communities. Browsing by genre or topic reflects how people naturally explore information and can be especially helpful for those unfamiliar with the Dewey Decimal System. We will discuss the impact on staff, and how we planned, marketed, and implemented the changes.
