The Dewey Decimal Classification System is the ideal method for classifying books within a school library. This system, which divides all knowledge into ten main categories, is best suited for both school and public library collections because it is simpler and more flexible compared to the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system, and because these collections do not require the level of specificity that the LCC provides.
