Assuming it is a non-fiction book (school libraries rarely shelve fiction books by the Dewey numbers designated for fiction) you should be able to find it using a subject or subject keyword catalog search.
If there is a specific book but you don't remember title or author, then you can use the library catalog (which is usually online and accessible either from your home computer or at a terminal at the library) and enter a keyword that relates to its subject matter in the right field, which might be "subject" or "Keyword" depending on the catalog. If you remember any words in the title, you might also search the title field.
Libraries should also have a guide to the Dewey Decimal system...you don't have to memorize it. Look at this guide and determine the subject and corresponding number or ask the librarian or study the library map to find where that shelf might be located.
