Finding Books
To be successful in locating books at the library, you will need to focus on the Library of Congress "call number" for the books. Books on the same topic are often found together, but to know where to look you will need to search the online catalog or walk to the section and browse. Some areas are large, so if you are looking for a specific book, start your search on the computer.
| QH | Biology | SB | Plant Culture (horticulture) | |
| QK | Botany | TX | includes Nutrition |
