When I worked in the municipal library in high school, we had three copies of The Hobbit, plus the graphic novel version. We had a copy in the Fiction section (which is to say, the adult fiction section), we had a copy in the Young Adults section, and we had a copy in the Junior section (basically, the "kids chapter books" section--not quite YA, but not picture books). The graphic novel ended up in the YA section.

Oddly enough, in the same library, the HoME volumes we had (not a complete set, which was sad, since that was my source for them at the time, as I was in the process of accumulation) were not in the same place. Lost Tales I and II, Lays of Beleriand, Return of the Shadow, and War of the Ring all ended up in (adult) Fiction, but Morgoth's Ring ended up next to Carpenter's biography in the late 800s of the Dewey Decimal System--aka, Adult Non-Fiction.
