This was one of the original collection when I created the neighborhoods and I had a lot of arguments with other staff about including math in the FUN section. Which just goes to show that adults absolutely pass their attitudes on to kids! I overhauled this section in my last update and created additional Dewey numbers. This section is one that has a lot of fiction in the Dewey numbers - as I explain to the kids, the numbers are a classification system, not fiction vs. nonfiction.
This selection doesn't include nonfiction series or some older titles. The biography section isn't heavily used, but I do pull a lot for school requests.
