Dewey Decimal - 2024
Duration: January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024

Progress: 4 out of 10

Have you ever stepped into the non-fiction section of a library and searched for a topic, but not really sure where you’re supposed to be looking? Well, you’re probably not alone. In 1873, an American librarian by the name of Melvil Dewey developed a system to help people around the world locate the book they are after.

For this challenge, you can read fiction and/or non-fiction books inspired by the Dewey Decimal Classification.
