How Do I Find A Book? As you look around the library, you'll see that the shelf fronts have labels that that tell us where the books are placed. Think of this as the book's address. The labels match the call numbers on the spines of our books, just like your house number or apartment number tells where you live.
First you'll see either a number- - - or a letter. If it's a number you are in the non-fiction section for sure! If it's a letter you could be in any one of our other sections: F means Fiction (Chapter books)
E means Everybody Reads (these are Picture books or Easy Books) 000-999 means Non-fiction
B means Biography Author Spotlight: Sarah Weeks 
 Jumping the Scratch
(HarperCollins, 2006)
Ages 10 and up
Jamie Reardon has always heard that bad things come in threes. So after his cat Mister dies, his father leaves, and his aunt Sapphy has an accident that causes her memory to develop a skip, Jamie hopes his life will go back to being as normal as cornflakes. But unfortunately there's one more bad thing in store for Jamie-something he'd give anything to be able to forget-and this one leaves him feeling like a stranger to himself. Jamie tries in vain to find the magic trigger that will help Sapphy's memory jump the scratch, like the needle on her favorite Frank Sinatra record, but in the end it's Aunt Sapphy who, along with a curious girl named Audrey Krouch, helps Jamie unravel the mysteries of memory and jump the scratch in his own life.
