All American libraries are arranged by the Dewey Decimal System founded by Mel Dewey. This gives each book a three digit number based on general category, plus decimals after that number to indicate specific position in that category.
The main classifications in this system are:
- 000 - General works, computer science and information
- 100 - Philosophy and psychology
- 200 - Religion
- 300 - Social Sciences
- 400 - Language
- 500 - Pure science
- 600 - Technology
- 700 - Arts and recreation
- 800 - Literature
- 900 - History and geography
Within those broad categories, you might find numbers like 327.9843 or 598.2 based on the position of the specific book in that library.
Within each specific category, the books are also arranged alphabetically by author.
