Books with Call Numbers
A-M Signs hanging from the ceiling and on the ends of the shelves will guide you to the call number you need. If you can't find a call number, ask at the Reference Desk. |

Bound Periodicals "Periodicals" are magazines, journals or newspapers. We shelve print periodicals on the 2nd floor north. As issues accumulate, we bind them together. They are arranged by call number, just as the books are, but with Per before the call number itself. |

Children's Literature & Curriculum Collections The Children's Literature Collection is a selective collection of mostly award-winning books for children and adolescents. The Curriculum Collection is a representative collection of textbooks for grades K-12. Both collections are arranged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification, which is used in most school libraries, and are listed in our catalog. |
