Libraries have sections assigned to various materials, and also separate books into various types. The areas of a library may include

1. Audio Visual Room(AVR)

2. Circulation Section

3. Reserve section

4. Reference Section

5. Multimedia Section

6. Periodical Section

7. Material Center

8. General knowledge.

Some modern public libraries 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.

The major book sections may include:

  • Adult Fiction; Large Print (Fiction and Nonfiction)
  • Young Adult Fiction
  • Junior Fiction (including picture books)
  • Audio Books (Fiction & Nonfiction)
  • Nonfiction sections:

General Reference

Religion

Philosophy

Applied Science

Social Science

Arts

Literature

History

Geography

The Living Room Concept

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.

Universities

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 standardised 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).
