There are two main classification systems used to organize and classify books in a library:

  1. Dewey Decimal - this system is typically used by public libraries, school libraries, and small private/special libraries. It consists of three numbers (000-999), which represent the general topic/subject of the book, which is often followed by a decimal point and additional numbers, and then the first three letters of the main author. For example: 910.235 FLI
  2. Library of Congress - this system is typically used in academic and research libraries, and allows for more specificity in regards to the subject of the book. It consists of one or two letters, followed by a number (usually 1-4 digits long). For example: LB7525

How do you get a library to carry the book you wrote?

Different libraries have different policies when it comes to collection development. As such, a library may or may not want to add your book into their collection. There are two main ways in which you can get a library to carry the book you wrote: 1. You can suggest the book, either in person at the library or through the library's website. This method is only relevant if your book has been formally published. 2. You can donate a copy of the book to the library. It is important to note that a library may not accept a donation - this depends, again, on the policies of the library and whether or not the book fits their collection development policies. If you still aren't sure what the best approach would be, simply visit the library and ask a staff member; they will be able to provide you with the information you need about this.
