Of course, there are some libraries that have gone the bookstore route&#8230;grouping all books Italian in one area, not caring a whit that they are cookbooks (641) or language (450) or travel (945). De-Deweyfication, they call it! Well, we revere Melvil Dewey in my library. I teach the classification system to my students and tell them it is the same system used in the public library. So, if they want to find baseball books in a hurry, just head down the 796 aisle.<\/p>\n<p>If you work in an elementary school library, or other children&#8217;s library, you might like these free Dewey posters. They fit in 8.5 x 11 inch vertical sign holders. I put them on top of my library shelves. You could also laminate them, and affix them to the wall:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Elementary-Library-Dewey-Signs-1203932\">https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Elementary-Library-Dewey-Signs-1203932<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Elementary-Library-Dewey-Signs-1203932\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-114 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Slide01-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Slide01-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/littlelibraryoflearning.com\/staging\/9682\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Slide01.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do your friends and relatives say to you, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t you glad you don&#8217;t use the Dewey Decimal System any more&#8221;?
