More About Dewey
Dewey was made by a man named Melvil Dewey. He wanted to help people find books. He made the first list in 1876. Now, it is used in many libraries.
We see Dewey's work in our schools and libraries. It helps kids and grown-ups read more. It makes learning fun and easy!
In the future, Dewey may change. New ways to find books may come. But the goal will stay the same: to help us read!
