    Default Library Lingo

    I work for the public library. Como se dice "non-fiction" when referring to books? Do you say no-ficción or realidad??? Please help!

    HI Kanya, welcome to the forum.

    Te sugiero:

    prosa no narrativa

    fiction: narrativa

    Kanya,

    I don't recall the exact translation but non-fiction books could often be "biografías" or "basado en hechos reales". The first one is a category you would often find in a bookstore.

    hope that helps!
