Baseball, Chocolate and Dewey
Have you stopped by the Fairborn Library lately? In honor of the start of baseball season, we have a jar of chocolate baseballs on display right now. Adults can fill out a form with their guess as to the number of chocolate pieces in the rather large jar; whoever gets closest to the actual number, wins all the chocolate! It looks like enough chocolate to last until football season starts!
Here are a few books about baseball you may want to check out when you come in to the library to make your guess.
Basebal between the Numbers: Why Everything You Know about the Game Is Wrong
The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip through Buck O’Neil’s America
The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia
Watching Baseball Smarter: A Professional Fan’s Guide for Beginners , Semi-Experts and Deeply Serious Geeks
Echoes of Cincinnati Reds Baseball: The Greatest Stories Ever Told
These are just a few of the many books about baseball the library carries that you could take home. Check out the other offerings on the shelf at Dewey Decimal number 796.357. You’ll find our baseball books there. You can even look for baseball related documentaries at the same call number in the nonfiction DVDs. Books about baseball card values will be located at 769.5. Any of the Greene County Public Library branches will have the same things at the same number. The great thing about the Dewey Decimal System is once you know the call number of your subject, you’ll be able to find the same types of things at other libraries at the same call number.
