Call Numbers
 Each book’s Call Number is the address of that book in the
library.
 Call numbers are made up of the Dewey Decimal Number for that
subject plus the first three letters of the author’s last name.
 All books about a particular subject will have the same Dewey
Decimal Number, but the author’s initials may vary.
 Books in the library are arranged on the shelves from 000-999. Those
with the same Dewey Decimal Number are then arranged
alphabetically by the author’s last name.
