Find Items in Our Collection

All fiction books in our collection are organized alphabetically by the author's last name, then by the title of the book (if the author has multiple books).  The call number will start with "FIC."

Books with numbers that begin with a "J” will be found in the Youth Room.  Books that begin with "YA" will be in the YA section of the Youth Room.


We use the Dewey Decimal Classification System to organize our non-fiction books.   The Dewey Decimal System organizes information into 10 broad areas, which are broken into smaller and smaller topics.  Different topics are assigned numbers, known as "call numbers."  For example, "Tigers" are given the number 599.756. To see what books we currently have available about tigers, go to the nonfiction shelves and find the books that have that number on their spine label.
