8. If a spine label reads Y Patterson, it is shelved in...

Explanation

The spine label "Y Patterson" indicates that the book belongs to the Young Adult section. The letter "Y" is commonly used to categorize books for young adult readers. The author's last name, "Patterson," is not relevant for shelving purposes in this case. Therefore, the book would be shelved in the Young Adult section.

Explanation

The spine label J 597.36 indicates that the book belongs to the Juvenile Nonfiction section. The "J" in the label stands for "Juvenile," meaning that the book is intended for children or young readers. The number 597.36 is a Dewey Decimal Classification number, which further categorizes the book into the subject of animals. Therefore, the book would be shelved in the Juvenile Nonfiction section, where children can easily find and access it.

16. When shelving Juvenile Easy books, the titles being in order does not matter.

Explanation

When shelving Juvenile Easy books, the order of the titles does not matter because these books are typically organized by categories or themes rather than alphabetical or numerical order.
