The Numbers in
Nonfiction
The Dewey Decimal
System is a tool used to
sort books into
groups or
categories
This system was invented by a man named Melvil Dewey.
He was a librarian who
lived long ago.
Here are the 10 general groups for
sorting books in the Dewey Decimal
System:
General Works
Philosophy
Religion
Social Studies
Language
Science
Technology
Arts and Leisure
Literature
History/Geography
000s-General Works
Books that fit in this group have
many different subjects in them.
Like:
Encyclopedias or The Guinness Book of Records
This is also where books on unexplained
subjects would be found-like The Loch Ness
Monster.
100s-Philosophy
Books that fit in this group tell about
how we think and feel.
200s-Religion
Books in this group tell about
different religions or stories from the
bible.
300s-Social Studies
Books in this group tell about how
people live together.
holidays and customs
government, military
Fairy tales and folk tales are also
placed in the 300s. Many were written to
teach a lesson about behavior and..
that’s social studies—people living together.
400s-Language
Books in this group are about
different languages or grammar.
noun
verb
adjective
500s-Science
Books in this group are about things
from nature.
600s-Technology
This group has books that are about manmade things.
700s-Arts and Leisure
Books in this group are about things we
do for fun.
800s-Literature
Books in this group are stories,
plays, or poetry.
900s-History/Geography
Books in this group tell about events
of the past and countries of the world.
Biography- 920 and 921
Don’t forget this group. It contains
books about famous people’s lives.
Knowing these big groups will
help make it easier to find the
books you want in the
nonfiction section.
Remember, nonfiction call numbers
are placed in number order first, so
that means all of the books about the
same subject end up near each other
on the shelf.
That’s Smart !!!!

This is new to
you, so a few
tips are in
order. Listen
up for a
minute!
Not all libraries use the Dewey Decimal System to sort their books.
Some libraries use the Library of Congress cataloging system. Can you
spot three differences between the systems?

CONGRESS
Now you
try it!
Go to
http://www.prattlibrary.org ,
look at the Enoch Pratt catalog,
and see which cataloging system
they use.
The following link contains a chart which helps you to move
between Library of Congress cataloging and the Dewey
Decimal System. Where would you find the books on this
slide at the Enoch Pratt Free Library?

Show the world that you have social intelligence in the library.
Please work silently, with consideration for others.
How we handle books does make a difference.
Every time we touch a book we can either help
preserve it or help destroy it. The improper
handling of books can also cause serious injuries.
No talking, running, pushing,
hiding or “clowning around” is
permitted. Books, shelves, and
whole bookcases have been
known to break loose and injure
people, sometimes permanently.

Injuries include falls, playing, flying, thrown, or falling objects, and
bumps into objects.
Don’t become a statistic!
Books should be
standing straight on
the shelves and come
right to the edge of
the shelf so that the
titles may be easily
read. Also, allowing
books to lean is very
damaging to the
bindings.
WRONG
CORRECT
Do not try to remove too
many books from a shelf
at one time.
Do not pull books from
the shelf using the head
cap. This can easily
damage the binding.
Instead, push back the books on either side of the book
you want, then remove your book. Place a blank index
card in the place where the book was. By doing this,
you can return the book to its exact spot if you don’t
want it anymore, and the next person will be able to
find it.
Do not overreach to
retrieve a book from
a high shelf. Ask for
help.

•Ask what the lexile score of the book
is.You know your lexile score, and
should be comfortable selecting a book
a little higher than you lexile score.
•Skim the inside jacket or back cover to
find out if the book would be
interesting to you.
•Read the first few pages to see if the
book is too easy or two difficult for
you.
•Use the 5 Finger Rule; if there are
many more than five difficult words on
the first page, you may want to choose a
new book.
That’s where
reading
journals are
able to help!

If you know your Lexile score and want to compare
the Lexile score of the book to your Lexile score, go to
