1. What’s the Dewey Decimal System Stephanie Gauthia MEDT 6463

2. The Dewey Decimal System is really neat. It was created by a guy named Dewy who performed quite a feat. He organized books in a special way which makes it easy to find books for work or play. Now this is only books filled with information. We call those nonfiction without hesitation.
