We come to it at last…the final Dewey Decimal section! Well, at least the last half of the last section. The 900s were so big, we split it in two. This month, your challenge if you choose to accept is to read a book found between 950 and 999. Not sure where to start? Take a look at some of these interesting subdivisions.

950 History of Asia; Far East
952 Japan
953 Arabian Peninsula & adjacent areas
960 History of Africa
962 Egypt & Sudan
968 Southern Africa; Republic of South Africa
969 South Indian Ocean islands
970 History of North America
971 Canada
973 United States
974 Northeastern United States
975 Southeastern United States
976 South central United States
977 North central United States
978 Western United States
980 History of South America
981 Brazil
993 New Zealand
996 Other parts of Pacific; Polynesia
998 Arctic islands & Antarctica
999 Extraterrestrial worlds

Thank you, everyone, for taking this ride through the Dewey Decimal classification system. It’s been so much fun sharing this library system with you. Hopefully you learned a bit and have a new appreciation for how libraries organize their material!

Happy exploring!
