We have learned how to find picture books, fictional books, and graphic novels in our library using our Destiny Catalog. How do we find nonfiction books? What do the numbers on nonfiction books’ spines mean? We are going to turn into Dewey Decimal System Detectives today. All you need is a pencil and clipboard! You will also checkout at least ONE Non-Fiction book from SORA before you leave.
