Books
Books in the library are accessed by searching the library's catalog which is available online or at the Reference Desk.
Most books are shelved by genre, or type of book. We have separate sections for reference, fiction, junior fiction, non-fiction, short stories, DVDs and biographies. Additionally, oversized non-fiction books are shelved together on the Quarto shelves. Non-fiction books, and DVDs are shelved in Dewey Decimal order. Fiction, junior fiction, and short stories are shelved by author's last name; biographies are shelved by the subject's last name.
