I saw this idea on Literacious - you could easily adapt this to your own library as a way to promote your Non-Fiction collection.
The blogger says: With a new month, it’s time to start a new series of blog posts! This time we’re going to take a closer look at the Dewey Decimal System. For each class of numbers, I’ll share twelve specific titles for kids that you might find in that class.
I know you won't have these exact books but these screen shots will give you an idea about the way this works.
Today, we’re going to start with the 000s. This is the very beginning of the Dewey Decimal System. Here you’ll find books about general information found in encyclopedias and almanacs as well as information about computer science, libraries and books, and controversial knowledge (think monsters, aliens, etc.)
Let’s move on to the 100s! And if you missed the 000s post, please take a moment to check it out! The 100s are for philosophy and psychology – not the typical subjects for kids, but you’ll find some valuable and fun books in this section. While there are books about philosophy and psychology, there are also books about haunted mansions and ghosts, and books about feelings and emotions. Plus, you’ll even find some really great books full of inspirational quotations and great life advice!
We’re halfway through the Dewey Decimal System and we’re up to the 600s! The 600s are all about “technology” but let me caveat that with the fact that it’s not about computers. It’s about medicine, transportation, space travel, and more! You’ve also got farm, pets, and cookbooks, thrown in this section as well! It’s got a little bit of everything, which is one of the reasons why it makes such a great section to browse! You’ll definitely be surprised by what you’ll find!
These posts from Literacious might also give you some book shopping or book wish list ideas for your primary school library. (please note the links on Literacious do take you to Amazon).
