In the Stacks

Most fiction, poetry, and drama is shelved in the P section, where it is organized by language and country. Our two biggest sections are PR (British literature in English) and PS (American literature in English). Within those sections, you can also find

PS 8600s — recent Canadian fiction in English
PR 9000s — English-language fiction from other Commonwealth countries, including Caribbean, Nigerian, South African, and Australian literature

Almost all Canadian fiction in English or French has a call number in the PS 8000s.

Ask someone at the library services desk if you’re not sure where these sections are.
