As painful as it is to admit, the Dewey Decimal System is becoming antiquated. The categories are archaic and perplexing to many patrons. Sure, a heading like cookery makes sense to librarians. We know these are books full of receipts. But to the average Joe, you're talking in some type of bizarre librarian code.

End patron confusion with a set of Dewey Deathknell Directional Library Signs. Made of recycled trees, these handsome signs will guide users to the library's many offerings.
