Depending on the library, it's either by the Library of Congress System or Dewey Decimal System. Most school and public libraries use the Dewey Decimal system, which is divided into 10 basic categories.



The non-fiction books are arranged by Dewey number. If the books have the same Dewey number, they are arranged within that number by the author's last name. For instance, "baseball" is 796.357. If have one baseball book by Jones, one by Bennett, and one by Zimmerman, the "Bennett" would go first, then Jones, then Zimmerman.



Many libraries separate the fiction from the non-fiction and arrange the fiction by author's last name. Some pull out the different genres and shelve them together.How do you file books in a library?

Fiction books go by author. If an authors writes more than one book, then you go by title.



Dewey is great for school and public libraries to keep nonfiction books together by subject. Within subject by author.
