Those who are interested in the "easy" non-fiction section might be
interested in reading an article I wrote for Library Talk about six
years ago now.

"A New Section for Beginning Readers: J for Junior Nonfiction" by
Sharron L. McElmeel in Library Talk, Jan/Feb 97, Vol. 10, Issue 1, p
7+.

We found the junior nonfiction area to increase readership of
appropriate materials.  In the article we included criteria for
actually selecting which books to include in the section.  It
actually became a VERY popular area even for the more adept readers
who wanted an introduction to a topic.
