Where Can I find that Book?


Looks what’s new in the library.  This book can help you find the subject or topic you are interested in quickly and easily.
This is an Alphabetical book (A – Z) of lots of the topics and subjects in the library.  If I want to find a book on CARS I look on the C page and find the word CARS next to the word is a number.  This is the Dewey number.  All the books in the NON-FICTION section of the library have this number written on the SPINE LABEL. This is the white sticker on the bottom of the spine of the book. For the CARS books the number is 629.22.  Move along the shelves looking at the numbers as they increase until you find 629.22 and HEY PRESTO there are the CARS books.  See if you can find another topic you are interested in using the “Where Can I find that Book?”
