Russian Library Sign

[johnnyever.livejournal.com]

As I've mentioned before, I work in a library with a Russian collection. We shifted some of the books to another location, and I'm trying to figure out how to say "The Russian books now begin on the other side of the staircase."

There is a staircase leading up to a balcony. The collection used to begin immediately to the right of the staircase. We added a new shelf to the left of the staircase, which is harder to see. So I'm putting a sign on the right side of the staircase, referring to the new shelf on the left side. Hope that's clear.

I'd asked my girlfriend through text message, and she suggested "КНИГИ НА РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ НАХОДИТСЯ С ДРУГОЙ СТОРОНУ ЛЕСТНИСУ." (Keep in mind, I'm transliterating through text message, so any spelling mistakes, etc., are my own). I think maybe she misunderstood. An old Russian lady said it was wrong but couldn't really explain how to fix it. That line looks to me like it says "The Russian books are now on the other side of the staircase," as in all of the books. But it's only like A-B of the fiction books.

Thank you in advance.
