Dewey Who?

You've probably heard of the Dewey Decimal system, one way to group items together often used in libraries. The Dewey himself, Melvin Dewey, created the system in 1876 with the idea that all items could be seperated into ten distinct categories (and then further divided and further divided and..well, you get the idea).

With school starting *gasp* next week, check out our back to school displays of picture books and parenting books about school. Your Dewey number for the week - J 372 - for more books for kids about going to school.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
