Shelving Locations

Aside from the "main stacks" where the majority of books are shelved, we have a variety of shelving locations throughout the main room of the library. We created these different shelving locations to highlight subsets of books the library has available for the Menlo Community.

 

Scroll down for more information on each shelving location.

New books

New books are located in the main room, near the door to the back of the library. The spine labels will have  red stickers with  "New"  on them.
