I currently have baskets of series, favorite authors, subjects ect. but it doesn't translate to the libray. In the classroom if they want to read Kevin Henkes, they know where to find him. It takes my kids much longer to realize that in the library they would go to the E (Everybody) section and look under H for Henkes.
