Hello,
It looks like we have it in juvenile fiction. We put it in juvenile and in fiction because the whole harry potter series is there and that is where patrons will be looking for it.
Thanks,
Janelle

Seeking advice from the collective...

We just received the new Harry Potter "book." I put it in quotes because it is a script, not a story in the more traditional sense.

My inclination is to put it in the ADULT FICTION collection, although since it is a script, it could also go into non-fiction (822).  There are only a couple of other libraries in MeL who have it, and they're split about 50/50. I appreciate any thoughts / suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Helena
