2. There are 3 non-fiction areas in the library  

a. Find the Indigenous People's collection (hint- it's turquoise) and write down two genres they have  

b. Find the non-fiction genres next to the IPC collection and write down all six (hint-you'll have to crouch down to see two of them –by the read label on the wall). The others are under the "access" sign and under the "evaluate" sign (look up)
