Fiction
The Library has books from the newest best sellers to the classics. Fiction
is shelved by the author's last name. Most titles check out for four weeks,
but books that are less than a year old are usually found in the "New
Books" area and check out for two weeks.
Non-Fiction
Non-Fiction is shelved by subject, using the Dewey Decimal System. Non-Fiction
covers many topics - medicine to car repair, how to play a guitar to information
on the great painters, computers to the Bible to legal forms and concepts.
If you can't find what you need, be sure to ask a librarian.
