Order in the library?
Some type of order is fundamental to the working of a library. How else can books be located for those who want to use them? Thanks to Melville Dewey many libraries are organized by the Dewey decimal system with an alpha-numeric concept. Keeping books in order is another matter that requires attention on the part of those shelving and cooperation from those who browse the shelves.
