A Quick Guide to the Library of Congress Classification System for Kids

 

 Many libraries have switched from the Dewey Decimal System to the Library of Congress Classification system. I have created this quick and easy reference guide for kids and students that are beginning to learn the system.

Use this free printable in your library or classroom. You can even practice by organizing your books at home!

Happy Shelving!
