I also use Elazar and I've struggled with this too. For the sake of convenience
and clarity, I've chosen to place picture and board fiction books with the
holiday; there is a spot for them -- J 249.53 for Chanukah fictional stories,
for instance. It helps me when I need to grab everything on a holiday for
display. I also figured that for a young kid, a fictional picture book was a
helpful entre into the subject. I do the same with chapter books for my 7-11 yr
old readers (I call that JA, as in Junior Advanced), mostly for the convenience.
Now for my YA kids, that's where I struggled. I wasn't sure if I should do the
same for them, but in the end I decided that they were old enough to fully
appreciate historical or realistic fiction and to find it through the catalog.

When cataloging Jewish Children's fiction holiday books do you put
them in fiction or nonfiction with the rest of the holiday books? I
catalog in Elazar. I have about 1,600 Children's, Middle Grades and
Teen books in my 4,000 volume library for a Reform Synagogue in
Southern California.
