Distinguishing Fiction from Nonfiction

The video tutorial by the 'geeky library lady' introduces two main types of books found in libraries: fiction and nonfiction. Fiction books are described as storybooks with characters, settings, and plots, often remembered as 'fake' stories. An example of a fiction book is given, involving a boy and a silver dragon. Nonfiction books, on the other hand, are filled with facts and real information about real people, places, and things. The video emphasizes that nonfiction is 'not fake' and provides an example involving penguins to illustrate the difference. The tutorial concludes by encouraging viewers to choose fiction for stories and nonfiction for learning new facts.
