Do you mean in Bookstores or Libraries?

In bookstores there is not enough SF to put in its own section, also one has to account for blurry novels between the two.
Also in bookstores what is usually split off is series books like Star Wars and Star Trek.

In libraries there is usually so little room for fiction that all fiction is interfiled with sometimes genre spine labels.

I mean in libraries. Specifically I mean in the Ann Arbor Main library.

Its usually not done in libraries because to file by genre is very space intensive, space which most libraries lack.

You sometimes see genre spine lables but this is not always complete or accurate.

I try to make up book marks of SF.

Maybe Stilyagi/Confusion could make up book mark sized flyers to leave at local libraries and book stores.

which is part of why it's crazy that they do it at our library.

How cramped are they?

One of our branches did seperate out genres then gave it up when they ran out of room.
