Book Resource Information - Countries
To ensure that all resources are equally available to
everyone, the Mission Viejo Library has a three (3) book
subject limit per family.
Country books are nonfiction and are shelved
according to their Dewey Decimal Number. Most of
the books on the same subject are then shelved together.
If you would like to find books in the Reference
collection (Juvenile or Adult) or in the Adult
Non-Fiction collection, the number is the same.
The letter J in front of the call number signifies that
it is in the Juvenile collection. Below two
numbers are given for specific countries; first number
indicates country travel books; second general, and
history information.
