I will include science fiction, science fact, fantasy, alternate history, childrens fiction (too many great books in that to ignore even as an adult), modern fiction, classics, textbooks and other educational/informational/reference texts, biblical, etc...
It is quite impossible to come up with any senseable division of a library based on genre. Way, way too many books will span multiple genres. Personally, I have many books that span 2 or more of the Science Fiction, Fantasy, Alternate History, YA, Children's, Modern Fiction, and Classics classifications. Add that I have numerous anthologies which contain Science Fact along with SF of one type and/or another.

I can't think of any way to divide a library other they alphabetical, either by primary author or by title. Perhaps you should reconsider the desire, or perceived need, to divide the library and look for storage solutions that will support the library in one piece.
