We’ve come to it at last- our final Dewey class. The 900s. This is the History and Geography class. Need a travel book? A guide to ancient Egypt? Want to know the details of an important battle during World War 1? Fascinated by the Civil War? Need information on Japanese culture? This is the class you need to consult.

Because this class is so large and wide reaching, we are going to break it in half. For the month of November, your challenge is to read a book found between 900 and 949. Not sure where to start? Take a look at these interesting subdivisions.

909- World History
910- Geography and Travel
913- Geography of & travel in ancient world
916- Geography of & travel in Africa
917- Geography of & travel in North America
929- Genealogy, names & insignia
930- History of ancient world to ca. 499
931- China to 420
932- Egypt to 640
938- Greece to 323
940- History of Europe
941- British Isles
943- Central Europe; Germany
947- Eastern Europe; Russia
948- Scandinavia

Happy exploring!
