TL 16.22.indd 16 Ontario School Library Association As teacher-librarians, we're engaged in continuous evaluation of our libraries. Sometimes this evaluation is planned and systematic. Sometimes it's inspired. My creation of an Easy Dewey section in my library was the result of just such a "lightbulb" moment. Two years ago, I was shelving Deweys and lamenting the fact that so many wonderful books in our collection would probably never fi nd readers. What chance does a boy in grade 2 have of fi nding a 32-page book on Mars? Not much, given that the book is painfully squished in with dozens of books aimed at grade 6 students studying space. In frustration, I rescued the book on Mars from its hopeless shelf spot - but where could I put it? Not in the picture book collection, but I didn't want to leave it in the regular Dewey section…. Th en I realized there must be dozens of books suff ering the same neglect. I began to comb the stacks, rescuing books on dinosaurs, ants, vultures, elk, teeth, jets, soccer… and much more. Easy Dewey was born. I introduced an Easy Dewey section in the Story Corner area in the fall of 2006 and, although it remains a work in progress, it has certainly been a hit. In the fi rst year, I devoted two four-shelf book cases to Easy Dewey. Th e demand was so great that I had to control access. One week the boys could make selections from this area; the next week it was the girls' turn. Students always remembered whose turn it was, from week to week! In the fall of 2007, I expanded the section and opened it to all students every week. Although both boys and girls love this section of their library, the most enthusiastic users are certainly boys. What do students fi nd so exciting? I think that many of them are thrilled to fi nd that books are "about something." Young students do come to the circulation desk excited to have found a "Franklin book" or an "Angelina book," but their pleasure rarely matches that of students who are clutching a book ABOUT SHARKS! … or wolves or stars or hockey or horses. My Easy Dewey section has signs proclaiming that it is the Easy Dewey section and the books have a tiny happy face sticker on the spine label (to aid sorting and shelving). Th e section is a mini-Dewey section, with numbers and pictures as shelf labels. Th e principal users are students in grades K-3/4, and I turn to this section when teachers ask for easy books on various topics. While I haven't tried to teach primary students the Dewey decimal system, I've noticed that they're learning it because they're using it.
