Exploring Dewey: Introduction


Exploring the Dewey Decimal System

Melvil Dewey 1851-1931

The Dewey Decimal System was invented by Melvil Dewey in 1876.  
All non-fiction books are put into groups; from the zero hundreds to the 900s.  Each book is assigned a call number, which relates to where the book is found in the library.

Each Friday I will be posting a summary of each section, along with highlighting some some books from  Augusta's children's department.
