Libraries classify books to allow for easy retrieval. A library can have hundreds upon hundreds of books (if not thousands or millions of books), and the only way for people to be able to find what they need, there has to be a system in place to organize the collection. Classification not only allows for specific titles to be located, but also allows for browsing of the stacks.
