Library Leaders Day 1

What is this part of the book called?

• Letters

• Book finder

• Call number

• Sticker

Answer explanation

The first part of the call number tells you which section (Fiction, Nonfiction, Everyone, or Graphic Novels) the book goes in. The second part tells you where the book goes in that section.

What section does E CAL go into?

• Fiction

• Nonfiction

• Everyone

• Graphic Novel

Answer explanation

E is for Everyone! Picture books have call numbers that start with an E.

What section does F NUM go into?

• Fiction

• Nonfiction

• Everyone

• Graphic Novels

Answer explanation

F is for Fiction. Usually chapter books have call numbers that start with F, but sometimes they only have the first three letters of the author's last name, so watch out!

What section does 741.5 KIB go into?

• Fiction

• Nonfiction

• Everyone

• Graphic Novels

Answer explanation

All graphic novels have call numbers that start with 741.5!

What section does 591.6 WHI go into?

• Fiction

• Nonfiction

• Everyone

• Graphic Novels

Answer explanation

Nonfiction can start with any number from 1-999, except for 741.5 (because 741.5 is for graphic novels)! Library Leaders don't shelve nonfiction because you have to know your decimals AND how to alphabetize. I want you to be able to recognize them so you don't accidently try shelving them though!

What section does STE go in?

• Fiction

• Nonfiction

• Everyone

• Graphic Novels

Answer explanation

If a call number doesn't have an F, E, or number, it's usually a chapter book and goes in Fiction!
