What is a call number?

A call number is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find your book.

Each book has its own unique call number.

Call numbers are located at the bottom of the book on the spine of the book.

Once you've got your call number from the online catalog, it's time to go find your book!

Look at the ranges on the ends of the shelving to guide you to your book.

See example below:
