Literature
- CLASSIC literature begins with the 19th century (1800 to current). A Classic genre label is affixed at the top of the book spine and is shelved in the Fiction free-standing shelves or in Nonfiction, and labeled accordingly. These books are stamped "Do Not Discard" on the copyright page.
