During our recent community consultation, you told us you’d like our collections to be easier to navigate. In response, we’re excited to introduce the genrefication of our adult biography collection!
Now, you’ll find biographies grouped by genre, making it simpler to discover stories that interest you most.

The genres included are:
+ ADVENTURERS & EXPLORERS
+ ARTISTS & ENTERTAINERS
+ FAMILY STORIES
+ HISTORICAL FIGURES
+ MEMOIRS
+ POLITICAL FIGURES
+ PROFESSIONALS
+ ROYALTY
+ SCIENTISTS & INNOVATORS
+ SPORTING FIGURES
+ STORYTELLERS
+ WRITERS

Why genrefication?
Genrefication helps you find books that match your interests more quickly and easily. By organising biographies into genres, we hope to make your library experience more enjoyable and help you discover new favourites. Thank you for your feedback and for helping us make the library better for everyone!
