The Dewey Decimal System helps students learn how libraries are divided into topic sections.

Manchester's fiction section is divided into genres. This helps students find books with stories that speak to them. It also helps in identifying story traits like plots, themes, settings, symbolism, and character development.

Books have a wealth of information and it's important that students know how to find that information quickly and accurately. Tools like a table of contents, indexes, glossaries, and front matter all make a book more accessible.
