Unlike public and school libraries which use the Dewey Decimal system to arrange books on the shelf, books in the Thrift Library are arranged according to the Library of Congress system. Under that system Fiction is located in the P's upstairs.
The Library of Congress system combines books by an author with books about the author, and is better for scholarship.
The library subscribes to a limited number of magazines, journals and newspapers in print. Located next to the fireplace. The great majority of its periodicals though are located online.
