The Great Shelving Debate: Dav Pilkey
You never know how crazy your library opinions are until you share them, so that’s what I’m doing today.
Do you keep all your Dav Pilkey books (not including picture books) together in the fiction section? Or do you put the chapter books (Captain Underpants, Ricky Ricotta) in the fiction section and the comics (Dog Man, Cat Kid Comics Club) in the graphic novel section?

I’m asking because we’ve been keeping them all together in the fiction section (to make it easier for kids to find them all), but I’m very curious what other folks do in their libraries.
I even made a poll about it and I’d love for you to vote.
