A call number is a group of numbers and letters that tell you where in the library the book is located. This call number, typically located on the spine of each book, helps us organize the library in a clear, concise fashion. The Sojourner Truth Library uses the Library of Congress call number system, which organizes books by subject.

Below are helpful links about navigating the library call numbers and the Library of Congress call number system.
