Have you walked into a Library and you don’t know where to go to find a particular subject – Librarians are busy (or you just don’t want to bug them- but that’s why we’re here to help you have a wonderful day- discovering new knowledge and how much that yard sale find was worth ) or you cant find the Online Catalog (which really scares you , and you have put on your blinders and you don’t see it – It’s easy – we library folks will help you)
Well, if you go walking down the bookcase aisle you will find that some of the books have numbers on their spines- that is their Dewey number: created by Melvil Dewey to make life easier when trying to find a book
Classification goes by the following:
000 Computers and General reference
100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion
300 Social Sciences-Law
400 Language-Math
500 Science
600 Technology- Medical, exercise, electrial, gardening, cooking, remodeling, beauty, resume, woodworking to plumbing – Wow! This is a big area
700 Arts & Recreation
800 Literature
900 History to Geography
A stroll into the library is an adventure – it really is! -You should try it !
