nimblemoon, l worked as a librarian for quite a few years. Loved the work, and the Dewey decimal system helped so much in handling, shelving, and locating the books.

oh my goodness gracious sakes alive. The fact that so many people were flummoxed by this question indicates that what percentage of people have never actually set foot inside of a library?!

I first heard about Dewey when I read about the amazing cat named Dewey who lived for 18 years in a library in a small American town.

I didn't realize that they still use the Dewey System but I'm glad they do 😁

GrandmaTanya, some libraries use LC (Library of Congress) classification which uses letters for its primary classes. I loved working as a public librarian and academic librarian for 30+ years.

I hope the library stays.. there is such peace just walking through the library. It’s bad enough that we have lost allot of bookstores..

Have always enjoyed the experience of Libraries. At an early age My Grandmother regularly sent me to return/ and collect books for her. She never requested a preference..Perhaps her way of seeing what I was like ?? am 70+ and still miss her Wisdom.

Player #4747084, I noticed that too. Since it was there as a wrong answer, it really doesn't matter. The fact it is spelled incorrectly, is just another red herring. 👀
