At Live Oak, our folktales are in a separate section. We have them color coded
by continent with additional categories for multi-cultural, fractured fairy
tales, ancient Greece, and Native American. We use colored dots on the spine
and have the key located directly on the shelf. It’s a great browsing tool for
students and teachers who may want a particular type of folktale. It’s a
heavily utilized area because it is in a very visible location, folktales are
favorite read-alouds, and the subject matter is just super appealing to kids.

We have a lot of fairytales and folktales so they are in their own separate
section though still have the 398.2 call number. I'm guessing they were in
the Dewey and when the collection grew they put them in their own section.
They are arranged by geographical section and inside the cover we have
stickers denoting the region for shelving purposes. They aren't used that
much, but some teachers will use them when studying a specific region.

We used to have them all in 398.2 with colored label protectors to denote
geographical regions. We have redone them by continent then country if known
such as
Folk
Africa
Egypt
AD (author/collector's initials)
World folk or unknown are simply Folk and initials.

Happy Friday everyone,
I am trying to reorganize the Folk Tales section and wondering if I could get
some feedback on how people have approached this - do you organize by region,
tale type, other ways?
Thank you!
