LET’S LEARN ABOUT CALL NUMBERS

REMEMBER A CALL NUMBER IS LIKE THE BOOK’S ADDRESS IN THE LIBRARY. IT TELLS WHERE THE BOOK LIVES ON THE LIBRARY SHELVES.

OUR LIBRARY HAS TWO KINDS OF BOOKS. FICTION NONFICTION

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO LEARN THE RECIPE FOR MAKING CALL NUMBERS FOR FICTION BOOKS.

A FICTION CALL NUMBER IS MADE UP OF TWO PARTS: FIC for fiction The first three letters in the author’s last name.
