Fiction Section
Fiction is writing that is made up in the author's mind. In our Fiction section, we
have chapter books that are good for fourth through sixth graders.
The call numbers all start with FIC for fiction. Under that are three letters which stand
for the first three letters of the author's last name. Example;
FIC
DeF
FIC stands for the Fiction section - that's where the book is
kept.
DeF stands for DeFelice - that's
Cynthia DeFelice's last name. Look for this book alphabetically in the D's.

is funny.
