In another in the long line of nearly-forgotten history along with cursive writing is the Dewey Decimal System of cataloging books at libraries. Today (Tuesday, Dec, 10, 2024) is Dewey Decimal Day and, according to one website, it “honors Melvil Dewey and the library classification system he created to efficiently maintain our libraries’ inventory of books.” You can see the numbers in the stacks at the library as you pass them to go get DVDs, Blu-ray disks and music on CD, but it is still there! I got this shot today at the Headquarters branch of the Collier County Public Library here in North Naples, Fla.
