Numbers Numbers

[Amy Davis <feslib@dbtech.net>]

Dear fellow LMNetters

        I am working in  a K-5 library. The children are shelving their own books,
but the decimal numbers confuse them. Has anyone ever removed the.987 or so
and just put the first three numbers and the first three letters?  Or is
this totally against Dewey. I want the children to be able to find the
books not give up on looking for them because they have not yet learned
about .987. Any ideas?

Also, I would like to know how you decide what filmstrips to remove from
circulation. I am working on trying to purchase videos to replace them.
Any suggestions?
