Channel: Loyalist Library
Date: 2020-10-30

You know what book you want, but all you have is a confusing string of numbers from the Library catalogue. What's next? We'll teach you how to use this number to navigate through the shelves and find exactly what you need. It's easier than it looks - we promise!

We've created a handout that you can use to guide you through finding a book with a call number. Download it here: https://shorturl.at/gouTV
