∙ 10y agoLibraries are broadly divided into fiction and nonfiction.
However, different libraries subdivide their material differently - often according to the needs of their client base. In a public library for instance you would find the following sections:-
Adult Fiction; Large Print (Fiction and Nonfiction); Young Adult Fiction; Junior Fiction (including picture books); Audio Books (Fiction & Nonfiction); Nonfiction; and Reference. There may also be a separate area for journals and newspapers.
However some modern public libraries go a little bit further in their design and have subdivided their nonfiction collections according to subject or theme - eg. all nonfiction and reference (not for loan) material is shelved together in defined areas, or 'rooms', according to broad themes such as Travel (includes learning a foreign language material), Art & Photography, Film & Literature, Music, Health & Sport, Law & Business, Philosophy, Local Studies, History, Agriculture & Gardening, Science & Technology.
Other public libraries may choose slightly different themes and may only subdivide a portion of their collection. This arrangement is called The Living Room concept and is showcased by Tamworth City Library in NSW, Australia. Included in the arrangement are lots of comfy lounges and study tables so you can enjoy your browsing at leisure.
University Libraries would arrange their collections differently again and may in fact hold library collections in more than one building. School Libraries again would possibly cater to a more standardized arrangement (Fiction, Nonfiction, Reference, Magazines), and Special Libraries would have their collections arranged according to the needs of their particular clients (eg. Law Firm library, Hospital library).
