How do I find what I'm looking for?
Our library collection has approximately 9,000 resources - whew! Just as well we have a good system to organise all the information making it easier for you to find what you are looking for.
Fiction - about imaginery events and people.
The Fiction collection is organised into sub collections by the type or genre of book, for example short stories, thrillers, graphic novels, classics. Each book is then shelved alphabetically by the authors' surname, where there is no author or an editor/s the book is shelved by it's title.
James Patterson's novel "I funny" can be found in the P section of the fiction collection under PAT.
Mark Walden's "HIVE" series, can be found in the W section under WAL.
Non-Fiction - Writing based on fact.
The non-fiction collection is organised by the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The Dewey Decimal System organises information into 10 broad areas, which are then broken into smaller and smaller topics. Different topics are assigned numbers. For example cooking is '641.5'.
