Eclipse
  Search all books and resources available in the LRB.

 


Fiction (stories) – our fiction books are in alphabetical order of author surname. The labels on the spines of the books can be used to speed up your search. They show the FIRST THREE LETTERS of the author’s surname. For example, the first author is Peter ABRahams, books by Philip PULlman come after Terry PRAtchett’s, and Jacqueline WILson’s books are found towards the end of the section, a few shelves before Benjamin ZEPhaniah’s.


Non-fiction (facts and information) – These books are arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System. They have numbers on their spines instead of letters and run from 000 to 999.


Here is an overview of how the subjects are broken down
