Dewey Number of the Week =
Bookworms!
Congratulations to this 6th grader (and all AMS students) who correctly identified volleyball as the subject of this week's Dewey Number--796.325. A cool fact we learned is that when you visit any other school library or public library, all their volleyball books will have a 796.325 call number too. It's a universal system. Mind blown.
Check in again next week for a new Dewey Number of the Week and a new chance to earn a squiggly, sour, and delicious Bookworm.
