Yesterday I overheard my most wonderful Americorp Vista Volunteer tell
students that 920 was where biographies of living people were shelved and
921 was for dead people...once I stopped laughing, I found my abridged
Dewey Decimal book and opened it up to the 920/921 section.  Later after
reading the section, she sheepishly exclaimed..."But Kay that's what the
librarian at the elementary school taught us!"  Since it came from the
librarian she KNEW it had to be right!

Thought all of you would enjoy that!  later, kt

By making the same mistake over and over, I at least learn to do one thing
well...
