Library Collection
The CCBC Library collection consists of approximately 36,000 titles including fiction, nonfiction, children's, reference, audiobooks, videos, and DVDs.
The Library collection is organized according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System , which divides all knowledge into ten major groups, and assigns numbers to each of these groups. For example, books on education are given a 370 call number; religion books can be found at the 200s area.
