Fiction Fiction Books are not true--these are
stories that someone has made up. We can find
fiction books tucked away in their on private
section within the Media Center.

Fiction Books Fiction books DO have Dewey Call
numbersbooks by American authors all have the
Dewey number 810but there are so many, we leave
that off and they are shelved with call numbers
Fic and the first three letters of the authors
name.

Non-Fiction Non-fiction Books are true--these are
real stories or informational books. We can find
non-fiction books in the Dewey section of our
library. Not EVERY book in the Dewey section is
non-fiction. Fairy tales are fiction.
