Find your dewey number

The Dewey Decimal System is used to classify books in our library by subject. As many of you already know, those numbers on the spine of non-fiction books correspond to the most important subject in the book. Fun, eh?

Try out this quiz to find your Dewey classification number. (It's totally not scientific, just for the fun of it!)

Bolivia's Biodiversity

I spent this weekend hiking in the lovely Amboro National Park, just hours outside of busy Santa Cruz. I was reminded how diverse and beautiful the country of Bolivia is. While hiking I was lucky enough to see an ocelot, two different kinds of monkeys, a wide variety of butterflies, fish and birds, as well as beautiful trees, plants and flowers.

If you're not able to get out of the city to view such lovley parts of Bolivia's heritage, come to the library to see Retratos de Biodiversidad - Bolivia / Biodiversity Portraits of Bolivia, a book full of beautiful pictures of nature. This book may also be helpful to report writers as there are limited resources on plants and animals specific to Bolivia. (It is currently on the new book shelf, but will soon be moved to its permanent location in the non-fiction 500s section of the library.)
