[Genealib] Why do you rearrange your collection?

In our library we do not use Dewey.  Never have, never will.  Our
genealogy library is only 24,000 volumes.  Everything is arranged from
Alabama to Wyoming - foreign countries in separate section - family
histories in separate section from A-Z.  Each state then has state wide
books filed first and then each county books filed in order.

Most new visitors to our library require about one minute of training and
the next thing we know is several hours later when they are leaving. 
WORKS GREAT!
