A Call Number is the "address" of a book that is written on its edge.

The library has different "collections" that you can think of as the "neighborhood" in which your book lives.

Examples of such neighborhoods are "Main Collection"  "New Books" and "Teacher's Resource Collection."

You need to identify the "neighborhood" first, and then use the call number.

The Main Collection is SO BIG that it covers five floors.  The first LETTERS of the call number will help you tell which floor to go to.

Library maps ( or the boxes below) give an outline of which call numbers are on which floors.

Main Collection A-DR, and California Documents/ City/County documents and AGX are located to the rear of Julian's cafe.

The New Books Shelf, Newspapers and Good Reads are located in front of Julian's Cafe.

Current Periodicals and DVDs are located west of Good Reads.

The Research Help Collection and Senior Projects from before 2009 are located near the Research Help Desk.

The Teacher's Resource Collection is also on 3rd floor to the left of the main stair landing.
