Letter to Confused in Libraryland

Dear Mr. Dewey,

I am thinking of seeking housing somewhere more affordable, like outside the United States, and someone suggested there might be helpful books available in the library. However, I found it a bit difficult to browse the shelves and was hoping you could explain the way books on living and working in other countries are given their special numbers for finding them:

Working and Living: France, 005.446
Living and Working in Britain, 914.1
Living and Working in Italy, 945
Live Better South of the Border in Mexico, 917.2
When in Rome: Living and Working in a Foreign Country, 648.9

Signed,
Confused in Libraryland

Dear Confused:

You seek the kabbalistic and occult. Consult a librarian.

Signed,
Mr. Dewey's Minion

Signs of times to come?

I'm just sayin'

When you tell people in Palm Beach Gardens they'll have to drive 10 miles further up the road, but there's another library about 1 mile away...
