What's the deal with Dewey??

Although Melvil Dewey first published his system in 1876, it is still as hot as ever. Everybody's doing it!

Buy why? Well, it is a nice way to categorize non-fiction and I, your local AHS librarian, have made some new changes in the library to help make it a little easier to navigate the non-fiction section. (Our digital collection is currently getting a makeover and you'll get a tour soon!)

First, you will need to know what the Dewey categories are in order to navigate them. Below you'll find a handy poster with all of the main and subcategories. If you are interested in a certain subject, either use this poster or the smaller section titles posted on each book shelf. As always, I am here to help!!

For a real banger, look up the Dewey Decimal Rap. It's fire. -->

What's new in the Library?

Monthly Rotating Display

On the far wall in the library you will find a new rotating display thanks to my two Library Aides. Here you will find themed books that will be changed out monthly. Each displayed book has a brief description next to it, as well as a rating so you can easily chose your next great read!

This month's theme is Winter! Stop by to check out this display before it switches to our next theme...culinary!
