Knowledge was available in your nearest library. You could order a book and, if they didn't have it, maybe they'd get it from another library that did. Of course, many libraries now have free internet access, which is useful for looking up things online. With more facilities, it should be more convenient for the user to access information.
However, using library would be easier if we are familiar with the system of organizing information in library, known as Dewey Decimal System. Maybe you already know it. Here just to remind you a while.
The Dewey Decimal System organizes information into 10 wide areas, which are broken into smaller and smaller topics. Different topics are assigned numbers, known as "call numbers." For example, "Animals" are given the number 599. To see what books the library at present has in on animals, go to the nonfiction shelves and find the books that have a 599 as element of their call number. A list of some of the information you can discover in the various Dewey Decimal areas, appears below.
