How are books organized in the media center ?

Our library books are organized by the Dewey Decimal System.

This is a classification system devised by Mr. Melvil Dewey in 1876.

It is divided into 10 major categories starting from the 000's to 999's

Read Do We Really Know Dewey to see more general information about this system.

Dewey and The Alien is a cute story about this system. It is written by middle school students.

Here is a scavenger hunt activity to help you with locating books in our library.
