Genrefying the Biography Section

Psst, you know that the biographies are the most boring part of the library, right?!

At least in my library, they get very little love. Except at project time, ‘cause for some reason EVERYONE does a darn bio project. But, that is a research issue for another day.

And, more of a possibility of making it resonate with your patrons. Additionally, all three of these elements are closely related and overlap in their goals and purpose.
