1. What are Biographies?

2. Hey Fluffy, do you know what you call a book about someone’s life?
Yes, a true book about a person’s life is called a biography.

3. Hey guys, over here! The 900s is the section for biographies!

4. The call number for biographies is 921 followed by the first three letters of the last name of who the book is about.

5. For example, 921 YOU is the call number for a book about Malala Yousafzai. The book would be located on this shelf between these two call numbers.

6. Here it is!

7. I’m eager to read about Malala Yousafzai
I’m eager to read about Malala Yousafzai. She is the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize!

8. I’d like to read about Barack Obama
I’d like to read about Barack Obama. He is another person who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

9. The book I’m looking for would have a call number of 921 OBA
The book I’m looking for would have a call number of 921 OBA. That number would come after 921 NAD and before 921 RUT, so the book would be on this shelf.

10. Thanks for the lift Fluffy! I can see the book now.

11. Here is the call number for a book about Barack Obama.

12. Thank you for your help Whiskers and Fluffy
