Browsing the Juvenile Collection

Books in the Juvenile Collection are arranged by Library of Congress call numbers, just like the general collection.  Get some ideas on what call letters represent your chosen topic with this outline of Library of Congress classification and go browse the shelves!

*Note: Fiction books in the Juvenile Collection are the exception to the rules and have their own Library of Congress classifications which include some of the following:

PZ 7 – Most children’s and young adult fiction is organized starting with this call number and is placed in order by the author’s last name.

PZ 8, PZ8.1, PZ8.2  traditional fairy tales, folklore, fables

PZ 10.3 – Animal stories
