Ever?
Never. Never ever. I seem to recall perhaps visiting one
library out of state that had mysteries grouped together, but
that was it; all other non-juvenile fiction works lumped
under Fiction.. Otherwise it's always been a clear
distinction of two subsets: either Fiction or Non-Fiction. It
certainly sounds like your experience with various library
systems vastly outweighs mine, so I'll conceed that perhaps
my experiences may indeed be the exception and not the rule.
My hope is perhaps someday my local library system will
follow your lead; I'd much prefer the more brower-friendly
seperation/catagorization of genres.
