Dewey Decimal classification schedule
While most books in O'Grady Library are shelved according to the Library
of Congress Classification system, non-fiction materials in the lower-level
Curriculum Resources room are classified and shelved according to the Dewey
Decimal system, which is outlined below.
Children's fiction in Curriculum Resources, unlike non-fiction, is
organized alphabetically by the author's last name and shelved in two
sections:
- picture books for the youngest readers, indicated by the letter "J"
before the author's last name on the spine label
- fiction for older readers, without the initial letter "J"
