I f you are wondering what the Dewey system is, this is the space to be. The Dewey system is the numerical system used by librarians to categorize books in the library. According to WordNet on Google, the Dewey system is "a system used by libraries to classify nonfictional publications into subject categories. The subject is indicated by a three-digit numeral and further specification is given by numerals following a decimal point. Publications are shelved by number".
