Days 52 & 53 - 30 June & 1 July

The next two days all books with Dewey numbers from 616 to 621.9999 will be moved from level 3 to level 5. This means that as from Monday all books with a Dewey number in the 600 class can be found on level 5.

A large number of books on level 4 have been relabeled the past few days. We will spent the next two days sorting these books and shelving them on the relevant levels.

Day 51

Books with Dewey numbers from 610 to 616.5450 will be moved from level 3 to level 6 today. These are books medicine, human anatomy & physiology and pharmacology.

We will also continue today to put Dewey shelf numbers on books on level 4 with only Zastrau spine labels.

Day 50 - 27 June

The last move from level 5 to level 2 takes place today with the moving of books on culture & institutions, social groups and political science (Dewey numbers: 300 - 320)

Seeing that we have sufficient space on level 5 to accommodate the whole of the 600 class, we will start moving books from 600 to 620 from level 3 to level 5 over the next few days. Today we will be moving books on technology and medicine (Dewey numbers: 600 - 610).

Day 49 - 24 June

No books will be moved today only temporary shelves built on some of the levels will be removed.

When the power of love
overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace.

Nine months ago.........

Nine months ago we started with the first phase to arrange the books in our library from Zastrau to Dewey. April Mahlangu took some photos on the day that I would like to share with you as well:

Day 48 - 23 June

As from today we will start to move books on political sciences from level 5 to level 2. Today books on government systems, civil & political rights, political processes and slavery & emancipation (Dewey numbers: 321 -326) will be moved down to level 2.

We will also continue to replace the spine labels of books on level 4 with old Zastrau numbers with Dewey spine labels.

Day 47 - 22 June

Today we will not be moving any books from one level to another. On level 2 we will continue to move books to the right so that we can get the spacing right for the moving of books from level 5, scheduled for tomorrow.

As mentioned a few months ago on this blog, we still have some books on level 4 that do not have Dewey spine labels. As from today we will be labeling these books with Dewey numbers and then interfile them.
