Learning Dewey!
 
You can find most books in many libraries around the world thanks to the Dewey Decimal Classification (also written as "DDC"). Librarians use the DDC to locate and store books on shelves in the library. Use this helpful guide and videos to help you learn your way around our library and many other libraries!

       The major Dewey Decimal divisions are:

               000 - Generalities
               100 - Philosophy & Psychology
               200 - Religion
               300 - Social Science
               400 - Language
